Taram, Abdul; Setyawan, Fariz – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2022
Probabilistic thinking is a structure of thinking characterized by scenarios that allow one to explore reality. Therefore, the characteristic of probabilistic thinking is problem-oriented that will occur in a future full of uncertainty. Nevertheless, few studies examine the students' probabilistic thinking level based on the Stress Tolerance…

Joshua, Surani; Drimalla, James; Horne, Dru; Lavender, Heather; Yon, Alexandra; Byerley, Cameron; Yoon, Hyunkyoung; Moore, Kevin – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2022
To facilitate people using mathematical reasoning to compare risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the National Science Foundation (NSF) funded the COViD-TASER (Creation of Visualizations of Data: The Application of STEM Education Research) research team to create the COVID-19 Relative Risk Tool (RRT). The RRT uses an interactive bar chart…

Maasz, Juergen; Siller, Hans-Stefan – Adults Learning Mathematics, 2010
A lot of people risk money with bets on sport events or other events. Bookkeepers that offer such bets earn a lot of money. We are making a proposal (more exactly: a concept for a part of a basic mathematics course) for learning mathematics behind the screen (internet bets are very popular). Learners should organize a "sports event"…

Mullet, Gary M. – Mathematics Teacher, 1980
Some counterintuitive ideas in probability are examined. In particular, for sequential selection procedure, such as drawing cards, it is shown that there is probabilistic advantage to drawing first (or early) relative to drawing last (or late) in the sequence. (Author/MK)
