Written Communication, v15 n2 p203-29 Apr 1998
Explores changes in students' probabilistic thinking and writing during an instructional program that emphasized transactional writing in a problem-solving context. Finds no significant correlations between probabilistic thinking and writing levels--students made gains in both probability reasoning and writing. Reveals their writing incorporated both writing symbols and mathematical symbols. (PA)
