The resources in this feature were developed by the epiSTEMe project at the University of Cambridge's Faculty of Education.
They are designed to support the use of classroom dialogue, build students' ability to think as mathematicians, and support key conceptual advances in understanding probability.
Supporting information for teachers and links to other epiSTEMe resources can be found here.
