A "Virtual Spin" on the Teaching of Probability
Beck, Shari A.; Huse, Vanessa E.
Teaching Children Mathematics, v13 n9 p482-486 May 2007
This article, which describes integrating virtual manipulatives with the teaching of probability at the elementary level, puts a "virtual spin" on the teaching of probability to provide more opportunities for students to experience successful learning. The traditional use of concrete manipulatives is enhanced with virtual coins and spinners from the National Library of Virtual Manipulatives. (Contains 6 figures and 1 online resource.)
