Co-Speaker:

The speakers will trace a trajectory for a probability investigation, the sums distribution from throwing several dice, that they introduced into a grade-5 class and that led to a sequence culminating in a grade-12 treatment of generating polynomials. See how the fifth graders' work previewed the mathematics used in grade 12.
