USING SCRATCH SOFTWARE IN TEACHING SOME ELEMENTS OF STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY OF THE PRIMARY MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM

Abstract

In the 2018 general education program for Mathematics, the content of probability and statistics has been included in the curriculum of primary school level. In addition, primary school students are also taught some basic programming software such as Scratch, Logo, etc. Using information technology in teaching Mathematics helps students explore knowledge and solve mathematical problems. This article introduces the use of SCRATCH software to create some games used in teaching some elements of statistics and probability in the primary Mathematics program from grades 2 to 5 in the spirit of the new general education program. Thereby, helping students to visually recognize the basic concepts of probability and statistics, skills in using information technology in learning, helping them to be proactive, actively learn and love Mathematics more.
