Presents a game designed as a chance-and-data activity that can be used to illustrate the use of probability-tree diagrams and multiplication and addition rules of probability. (ASK)

Presents an activity in which students develop a handy strategy for exploring probability as applied in the life sciences by learning to use the Punnett square, an effective tool that helps students visualize sample spaces and determine the likelihood of events. (ASK)

Presents a game to capture student interest in probability by giving them an opportunity to explore the idea of various outcomes and the likelihood of the occurrence of one of those outcomes to explain the benefits of using a large sample rather than a small one. (ASK)

Presents a dice game that students can use as a basis for exploring mathematical probabilities and making decisions while they also exercise skills in multiplication, pattern identification, proportional thinking, and communication. (ASK)

Utilizes problems from children's literature to guide mathematics lessons on probability. (ASK)

Presents an activity on probability and area in which students try to decide which door to buy. (ASK)

Discusses a game to present middle-grade students that involves both choice and chance to help them understand the significance and usefulness of mathematical probability. Discusses winning versus self-improvement and provides a student worksheet to help students in thinking about the game. (MKR)

Presents a game called Push-Penny, played by pushing a coin and having it land on a line, used to teach students to develop intuitive feelings for the consequences of randomness, including data handling and the construction and use of tables and graphs. (ASK)

Describes how Logo computer simulations, or microworlds, were incorporated into a series of lessons on the nature of probability. Data were generated and displayed using Logo. (MKR)
