TL;DRAbstract

Middle-Grades students should have opportunities to experiment actively with situations that model probability, including “making hypotheses, testing conjectures, and refining their theories on the basis of new information” (NCTM 1989, 111). These experiences should include a discussion of theoretical probabilities, where appropriate, and the use of correct mathematical terminology and expressions.
