This study aims to develop a learning environment for teaching probability by using dynamic software, and investigate its efficiency. The sampling of the study includes 144 prospective mathematics teachers from Bülent Ecevit University. The study utilizes case study methodology. The data were gathered through a data collection tool which consisted of open-ended questions, and observations. Prospective teachers (PTs) were, first, asked to answer the open-ended questions by using pen and paper. The answers were classified and analysed. Analyses showed that the responses, in general, were not consistent. The findings reveal that PTs had difficulty in making decisions and gave mostly inconsistent responses before they used a simulation. In simulation utilization process, they had some opportunities such as defining a trial number, classifying data, displaying in graphs, and making generalisations.
