Navigating Through Probability in Grades 9-12
Shaughnessy, J. Michael / Barrett, Gloria / Billstein, Rick / Kranendonk, Henry A. / Peck, Roxy
This book assists high school teachers in honing their students' thinking by introducing them to two approaches to probability and exploring both approaches in real-world contexts. The first approach, which interprets probability as relative frequency over the long run, uses actual or simulated data from many experiments to arrive at empirical probabilities. The second approach analyses outcomes abstractly to arrive at theoretical probabilities.
