Plinko Probability

For Students 6th - 11th Standards
It's a good thing the resource dropped into your radar. Young mathematicians use an app that randomly drops balls through a Plinko game and into bins. They compare the distribution to that of an ideal binomial distribution.

Are Kitchen Cabinets at the Correct Height? Lessons 1-5

For Teachers 9th - 12th Standards
Here's a not-so-normal unit on normal heights. Future statisticians anonymously collect class data on female heights, weights, and shoe sizes. They then analyze the data using normal distributions, z-scores, percentiles, and the...
