3/4 of the bar is shaded
How to teach it

Order events from impossible to certain in everyday language, then quantify simple chances as fractions of the equally-likely outcomes.

Worked example
A bag has 12 marbles. 2 are purple. What is the probability of picking a purple one? Write it as a fraction.
Answer: 2/12
Why: favourable 2 out of 12 total = 2/12
