A computer program that allows students to simulate an experiment in probability is given, with specific suggestions on how to use and study the program. (MNS)

Writing short computer programs can help students to develop an understanding of random processes in probability. Three sample programs are included. (MNS)

Characteristics of the number seven, which relate to many different areas of mathematics, are discussed. (JT)

A case is made for a comprehensive curriculum that includes strong competencies with not only number ideas and computation, but also with other mathematical topics such as geometry, statistics, probability, and estimation. (MP)

Children at many levels enjoy using spinners to explore probabilities and practice predicting, tabulating and graphing outcomes, and observing results. Directions for making spinners, descriptions of several activities, and sample worksheets are provided. (SD)

Presented are several variations of a multiplication game which develops probability and statistical concepts while it reinforces students' arithmetic skills. (JP)

Simple experiences with probability can extend third graders' understanding of the need for fractions. Three activities are given which build on language-arts experiences and incorporate concepts in multiplication, graphs, and fractions. (MNS)
