Abstract:
As part of the Australian national online curriculum initiative, The Learning Federation is developing hundreds of multimedia learning objects for use in schools. Some of these learning objects are designed to allow children to explore some basic concepts of probability and statistics, such as the relationships between random generators, sample spaces, likelihood of outcomes and both short and long run data on frequency of outcomes. This paper reports on the initial design development of these learning objects and on plans to research their use with children aged 6 to 12 years.
