9. Using Virtual Manipulatives in the Classroom In this video, a third grade class studies probability. To help enhance students' understanding of probability, the teacher introduces a software program designed to simulate the rolling of dice on a large scale. Students predict the outcome and then examine the results to see how accurate their predictions were. This lesson uses the Silver Burdette Interactive Mathematics software, but many similar programs are available online or with other mathemetics curricula.
