Abstract: Positive effects have been reported when graphic calculator (GC) is used in Mathematics classrooms as it influences the way Mathematics is taught and learned. This study aims to examine the effects of GC instructional approach on students’ Probability performance, particularly for students with different levels of Mathematics performance. Two groups of students were involved in this study; Group A adopted the GC instructional approach while group B used the conventional teaching approach. Students from different Mathematics performance levels, particularly the low-performing students, gained benefits when the GC instructional approach was adopted in learning Probability.
