Curriculum map / Year 4: Machines That Talk
Year 4, Lesson 5
How sure is it?
AI does not know things; it works out what is most likely.
The signature activity
Chance Machine: spinners and weather forecasts lead to a class guessing game with confidence scores, showing why 90% sure can still be wrong.
Learning intentions
- I can explain that AI works out what is most likely, not what is certain.
- I can use a confidence score to say how sure I am.
- I can explain why 90% sure can still be wrong.
The slides
Teacher notes and answers sit in the speaker notes of every slide, and printable resources are at the end of the deck.
