Probability Plugin Activites

[Kathy Shafer]

Hello,

Last week, I was exploring the Sampler Data Interactive Plugin.  The results are the two activites linked below.

The first is Random Coin Flips – based on an old Key Curriculum Activity.

The second models Free Throws with the goal of developing the concept of sample size.

Please let me know what you think and how they can be improved. I feel like I should be providing information on how the documents were created but space is limited.

~Cheers

Hi Kathy,

These are both nice demonstrations of ways to use the Sampler plugin! I couldn’t resist making a distribution of percentage of “Make” for each of the numbers of selection (see enclosed pic).

I found myself wondering what you think about whether HS students’ after a couple of sessions with the sampler would come to understand it well enough to make simulations from scratch?
