Abstract: 

This study addresses the development and evaluation of an instuctional program guided by research-based knowledge of students' probabilistic thinking. In particular, it seeks to (a) use a framework that describes and predicts students' thinking in probability to construct a third-grade instructional program, and (b) evaluate the effect of two different sequences of the instructional program on students' thinking in probability.
