Abstract:
Teaching probabilities to preschoolers is a very important task as daily decision making is based on probabilities. Although all children are well acquainted with probabilistic terms very few discussions are held in their classrooms because most of the preschool teachers are not prepared to teach probabilities. This study presents a way of teaching probabilities using Internet games and the constructivism theory.
