 Teacher Review (Based on classroom experience)Reviewer: Craig, Jun 20 2005 08:06:36:070AM |
Classroom use in Courses and Topics: Probability & Statistics: Probability |
Duration of classroom use: One Class |
What did students learn? Expected value and law of large numbers |
What did students do with the resource? First, they investigated a binomial probability, running several simulations with 200 chips and recording the number of cookies with no chips. Next, I had them run one simulation and record the distribution of chips. |
How hard was it for students to use? Very Easy |
Other classroom comments: Made students hungry! |
Appropriate for: introduction to a concept |
What math does one need to know to use the resource? None to use it; basic probability background helps students understand. |
What hardware expertise does one need to learn to use the resource? None. |
What extra things must be done to make it work? Nothing. |
How hard was it for you to learn? Very Easy |
Explanation: Type a number of chips in a block, then click on "Enter number of chips." |
Ability to meet my goals: Effective |
