The project was a two year exploratory study involving a collaboration between two researchers, two conceptual software developers/interactive graphics experts, three university lecturers/practitioners, four teacher observers and one quality assurance advisor. The project team designed innovative software tools and associated tasks aimed to expose undergraduate introductory probability students to a modelling approach to probability and sought to discover what conceptual understanding of probability and what probabilistic reasoning could be promoted from such an approach.
