Assessment Checklist
To do well on this assessment you will need to do the following things:
Use a sample space to record outcomes and calculate probabilities of combined events.
Understand mutually exclusive and independent events.
Run a simulation, find the relative frequencies/ experimental probabilities to test the theoretical probabilities.
Use expected values to provide reasonable justification for why a game is fair or not and worth playing or not.

During the Unit
During the Unit
At the beginning of the unit, use the traffic light system to rate how confident you are of the learning objectives. This will help you identify what areas you need to focus on in your lessons and self-study.
Add to the "What key skills have I learnt in the unit?" box key takeaways from your lessons and self-study. You may want use this as notes at the end of each lesson.
Add to the "What key skills do I still need to work on?" box key things that you still need further practice. Make sure you include resources like videos from DrFrostMaths, CorbettMaths, MyiMaths and Eedi etc.
At the end of the unit and prior to the assessment, use the traffic light system to rate how confident you are of the learning objectives. This will help you identify what areas you need to work on for your assessment.
After the assessment
After the assessment
Use the second part of the document to reflect on your assessment:
Add to the "What went well?" box a reflection of the positives. Make sure this is a reflection on the mathematics, not your effort.
Add to the "What do I need to improve on?" box reflection additional things you need to do to address the gaps of knowledge shown in the assessment. Be specific about how you can address the problems. You should start with “I need to… ”
Copy and paste what you wrote in the two boxes onto your student portfolio as part of your reflection for your target.
Upload your reflection document onto your student portfolio as evidence for your reflection.
