n Learning and Teaching Mathematics - Should we expect certainty from probability classroom experiments?

Abstract

I have had the opportunity and privilege of observing probability lessons in one township school in South Africa and in some schools in Malawi. In all cases I observed similar activities taking place where their teacher asked learners for example to toss coins or throw dice and record the outcomes. I will discuss two examples of activities that I observed; one in Malawi and the other in South Africa.
