Does the Teaching of Probability Improve Probabilistic Intuitions?
Fischbein, E.; Gazit, A.
Educational Studies in Mathematics, v15 n1 p1-24 Feb 1984
The effects of a teaching program in probability devised for students in grades five to seven were analyzed. Most of the notions were too difficult for fifth graders; 60-70 percent of the sixth graders and 80-90 percent of the seventh graders were able to understand and use correctly most of the concepts.
