  • Summary

    Uncertainty is a part of everyday life. We live with a range of situations that inherently have an element of uncertainty in them – for example, crossing the road, going on holiday, or making a major purchase – but we often ignore the embedded chance in these activities. Risk is acknowledged in many activities, and much effort is expended in identifying these risks and minimising any potential negative outcomes. In schools, for example, a risk assessment is required prior to any excursion with children. Probability is the strand of mathematics that addresses uncertainty. This chapter explores ideas relating to probability in the mathematics classroom.
