The NCRG and the Division on Addictions at Harvard Medical School have teamed up to disseminate the ground-breaking curriculum “Facing the Odds: The Mathematics of Gambling and Other Risks.”

Designed for use at the middle-school level, “Facing the Odds” presents statistics and probability in an integrated, engaging style. The goal of the curriculum is to increase students’ interest in math and improve students’ critical thinking ability, number sense and knowledge of the mathematics of gambling so they can develop rational views about gambling and make their own informed choices when confronted with gambling opportunities.
