What Research Says: Teaching Probability and Estimation of Length and Angle Measurements Through Microcomputer Instructional Games.

Bright, George W.

School Science and Mathematics, v85 n6 p513-22 Oct 1985

This study was designed to determine the effectiveness of two microcomputer instructional games in teaching probability and measurement estimation to 78 preservice elementary school teachers. The probability game did not seem effective, and the estimation game was only marginally effective. Patterns of change are discussed. (MNS)
