In summary, research suggests that when it is carefully designed and supported by teachers, investigating the behavior of simple random devices can help children form an image of a long-term stochastic process and explain the outcomes of these processes with sample spaces , when these are relatively easy to construct and enumerate. There is a marked tendency for students to conceive of sample spaces as combinations, not permutations. Because the studies of children’s understandings of chance in these contexts span multiple decades and even continents, yet converge on similar findings, it would clearly be fruitful to engage children in considerations of chance more often and more systematically during the elementary years. The design of such instruction can now include new digital means for representing and experiencing the random variation of simple stochastic processes.
