Abstract
Probability has almost vanished from curricula internationally. This article seeks to address the reasons for probability vanishing from curricula by investigating 9th grade students' emerging probabilistic thinking while working with a ThinkerPlots combinatorial problem. In this article attention is paid to the interplay of the semiotic means of objectification involved in probability experiment. Results from this research study with grade 9 students suggest that the interaction between semiotic means of objectification help students to modify, or refine their probabilistic thinking about combinatorial problems.
