Learning aims
Enable students to:
Location
40 minutes
Classroom
Group size
1-Develop their understanding of mathematics and mathematical processes in a way that promotes confidence and fosters
enjoyment
2-extend their range of mathematical skills and techniques and use them in more difficult, unstructured problems
3-use mathematics as an effective means of communication
4-acquire the skills needed to use technology such as calculators and computers effectively, recognise when such use may be
inappropriate and be aware of limitations.
Learning objectives
1-Understand the normal distribution curve and its characteristics
2-Use the tables to find the probabilities of the standard normal distribution Z
3-Use the table to find values of z given a probability
4-Understand standard normal distribution and calculate µ and σ

Choose a student from each
team and have him to explain
his results to the rest of the
group.
-Worksheet
-See example 1
-See example 2
-See examples 3-10
-Finding µ and σ
-See examples 11,12,13
Purpose: Pair, group or whole-class activity that allows students to
practice mastering the objective
Students work in pairs to
answer they thought
prompts.
- Solve exercise
7.D….1-5
- Solve exercise 7.E..14;5-10.
Acknowledge student
answers and if applicable,
add a few of your own.
Allow students to access
their notes
Teacher circulates to make
sure all students are working
To assist those students’
team that are not able to
solve the exercises on their
own.
5min
Closing: Reflect with students on their mastery of the objective,
thank them for their engagement, and provide any final
announcements and assignment.
Learning materials and
resources
``Can I have a volunteer
to summarize the thing
that we learned today?
Call 1-2 students as needed,
then thank students for their
participation.
For students who need it,
allow the access to their
notes.
