IGNOU OMT-01 Project – Among the Students in Lower Grade of Primary School in Hyderabad

There are many different questions in everyday situations which include probability. If we hear that there is 40% chance of rain tomorrow, shell we still go to our planed picnic? If our favorite football team plays against the best team in league this year, what are chances for a win? For a student who didn't read one third of a recommended book what is a chance to pass an exam? Who is going to win Oscar this year and how likely is that Leonardo DiCaprio lose it for the sixth time? And so on. Reasoning about probability is also common part of everyday children lives: they shuffle cards, toss coins and throw dice as a part of their games.

Objectives

• Can we expect that students in lower grades of primary school understand and use notions of possibilities and chances?
• How successful are students in lower grades of primary school in solving problems related to certain, possible and impossible events?
• Is there any statistically significant differences in the score on the test for different age groups among students in the lower grade of primary school?
