Recent research suggests that children could be engaged in probability tasks at an early age and task characteristics seem to play an important role in the way children perceive an activity. To this direction in the present article we investigate the role of some basic characteristics of probabilistic tasks in their design and implementation. In order to do so, we present the structure and the content of a series of tasks that were implemented in a kindergarten school focusing on two characteristics: the context and the materials used. In our case, the performance of the experiment together with the use of dice and spinners seemed to be critical in children's development of probabilistic thinking.

Key Words: context • kindergartners • manipulatives and experimentation • probabilistic tasks • task design
