Woodward, Ernest – Arithmetic Teacher, 1983
The lesson described first involved tossing a pair of dice and recording on a graph the sum produced on each roll. Pupils examined questions such as which sum occurred most often. The second part involved a graph that indicated which types of sums were most likely to occur. (Author/MP)

O'Neil, David R.; Jensen, Rosalie – Arithmetic Teacher, 1982
The instruction of probability and statistics is promoted as an area for exploration in elementary school. Activities are suggested that are designed to provide pupils with opportunities to learn desired concepts through informal, exploratory exercises. A total of eight different activities are suggested, with four each under probability and…

Burns, Marilyn – Arithmetic Teacher, 1983
A lesson for a sixth grade class that came out of an article in a Sunday newspaper is described. The instruction centered around an experiment in probability that was seen to provide an opportunity to add to pupil intuitive understanding of some basic notions. The lesson was viewed as worthwhile. (Author/MP)
