Evidence of learning
The teacher uses students’ work samples (predicted and actual results, graphs, lists of ‘certain’ and ‘uncertain’ events), anecdotal notes of observations, checklists of indicators and checklists of target language to determine whether students have made progress as a result of the learning experiences.
Criteria for assessment
Students are assessed on their ability to:
- list all the possible outcomes in a simple chance experiment, eg ‘heads’, ‘tails’ (if a coin is tossed)
- conduct simple experiments using coins and record the results
- explain the difference between expected results and actual results in a simple chance experiment
- apply an understanding of equally likely outcomes in a particular situation, eg tossing a coin
- describe events as being ‘certain’ or ‘uncertain’.
