Abstract: 

The purpose of this paper is to suggest how Dienes' stages of concept development can be applied as a framework for organising probability teaching. If we try to organise probability teaching globally in this manner, it turns out too complicated and inadequate; too many concepts are involved at the same time. So I believe that for the sake of didactical analysis it may be useful to separate particular concepts and to model the teaching according to Dienes' stages - each concept separately - and finally combine these models.
