Moran, James D., III; McCullers, John C. – 1978
This paper reports on a study conducted to clarify issues involving reward effects in children's probability learning; specifically, the detrimental-effects-of-reward theory, and the utility and expectancy theories. Five event schedules in which the probabilistic versus partial reinforcement dimension was separated from the number of choices in…

Troy, John R.; And Others – 1981
Presented are review questions and exercises for several mathematics topics. The first five sections cover the following major topics of the course: algebra, geometry, logic, probability, and statistics. Each of these five units follows a similar format. Each major topic is broken into several subtopics, with examples for each topic taken from…

Shulte, Albert P., Ed.; Smart, James R., Ed. – 1981
This 1981 yearbook of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) offers classroom ideas for teaching statistics and probability, viewed as important topics in the school mathematics curriculum. Statistics and probability are seen as appropriate because they: (1) provide meaningful applications of mathematics at all levels; (2) provide…

Montgomery, David C. – 1978
By showing how the addition of three universities to the State University System of Florida affected enrollment projections for the six older universities, a tool was developed that may be of use for enrollment projections in other settings, when the system changes. County population and K-12 school enrollment project reasonably well the…

Armstrong, Richard; And Others – 1980
This two-volume teacher's guide is to be used with a second-semester, sixth-grade mathematics program. The manner of presentation and the pedagogical ideas and tools are based on the works of Georges and Frederique Papy. They are recognized as having introduced colored arrow drawings ("papygrams") and models of our numeration system (the…

Moyer, Robert Eugene – 1974
This study was designed to test the hypothesis that use of a probability unit in ninth-grade general mathematics classes would yield student improvement in computational skill, arithmetic reasoning, and attitude toward mathematics. A 47-page unit on probability (developed for this study) covered basic terminology, probability of events, favorable,…

Lough, Tom; Tipps, Steve – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1988
Illustrates the exploration of random and chance events with a microcomputer. Demonstrates this principle using turtle graphics, coin flips, and die rolls in a student exercise involving distance and direction on a number line. Includes the necessary LOGO programming statements to use this method. (CW)

Gresham, Gina; Sloan, Tina; Vinson, Beth – 1997
The conception of mathematics anxiety held by a teacher may have a great deal to do with the way in which mathematics is characterized in classroom teaching. The purpose of this study is to determine if fourth-grade students' mathematics anxiety can be decreased by a change in implementing new instructional strategies. The study employed a…

Jones, Kevin S. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1992
"Gedankensimulation" is a term adapted from Einstein's "thought experiments" to indicate mentally created simulations that can help conceptualize ideas. Presents seven examples of simulations that can be utilized to solve problems or illustrate concepts in probability and statistics. Problem contexts include games of chance,…
