Abstract: 

New goals for learning probability are very different from traditional computational objectives and include heavy emphasis on integration with other topics in mathematics and with other subject areas. Although there is no solid knowledge of how to teach probability ideas well, new materials in a variety of forms are attempting to draw on recent research on students' intuition.
