Components of probability lessons in textbooks.(Report)
Abstract
A study designed to examine the structure of probability lessons within mathematics textbooks written for students in the middle grades is described. Lesson components and sequences from eight textbook series, spanning four decades, are identified and compared. The four popular textbook series had fairly similar lesson sequences. Lesson sequences within the alternative textbook series varied considerably. One component - reflecting on the mathematics of the lesson--was unique to the Connected Mathematics series. Recommendations for curriculum development are offered.
