In the last years, educational community has shown interest for introduce the information and communication technologies (ICT) in the teaching of mathematics. This produce the need to evaluate the available virtual resources for teaching probability in Primary Education. Due to the experimental nature of the teaching of probability, especially that produced in early ages, it is needed methodologies based on the use of resources that shows the random sense and use of probability. These virtual tools delve into the concepts’ meanings, show procedures and properties relevance and help to get over the difficulties mainly related to probabilistic biases. From Ontosemiotic Approach of Mathematical Instruction, this paper propose some of the most useful virtual tools which can be used in the formal teaching of probability
