Taking Chances Winning with probability 0 19 850430 6 John Haigh This is a fine resource book for anyone teaching probability at any level as it provides detailed discussion and analysis of many games and activities including the National Lottery, football pools, premium bonds and casino games. It also deals with ingenious coin tossing problems and situations and suggests interesting puzzles where the result is not at all as expected. It is strong on exposing common fallacies and the pitfalls which arise only too easily when real-life probability is considered. Paperback £9.99

Probability Recording Charts

Geoff Giles
This is a deceptively simple idea which splendidly allows the results of probability experiments to be recorded as they are taking place. It is very convincing to see the variability reducing as the number of trials increases. These charts can be used with standard dice and coin experiments as well as with the DIME probability packs. After 50 trials the line reaches the bottom of the chart and it then shows the percentage of 'wins'. Each A4 sheet has a chart on the front and the back.
