A Framework for Assessing Middle School Students' Thinking in Conditional Probability and Independence.
Jones, Graham A.; Tarr, James E.
Mathematics Education Research Journal, v9 n1 p39-59 May 1997
Discusses a framework for assessing middle school students' thinking in conditional probability and independence. Establishes four levels of thinking from subjective to numerical reasoning for both constructs. Students (n=15) from grades 4-8 were interviewed. Profiles reveal that levels of probabilistic thinking were stable across the two constructs. (AIM)
