Common misconception
Pupils want to avoid writing lists of outcomes.
Always model and bring explicit attention to a systematic list. The benefits of working systematically is the likelihood of error is reduced.
As pupils are listing outcomes try to encourage them to think about how many they end up with and why. This will help with the product rule for counting in the future.
