Simulate an exciting graphing calculator-based lesson. Individuals watch and participate creating simulations using the random number generator in a graphing calculator to answer probability problems. Learners then build simulations to develop solutions to problems on their own. They provide details on how they built their simulations, what outcomes mean, and explain the results.

Instructional Ideas

• Set up a scenario and ask individuals to come up with ways to create a simulation including ways that do not use a calculator

Classroom Considerations

• Final lesson in a unit of three Sampling Methods videos
• Requires knowledge of determining probabilities from experimental data

• This video is hosted on YouTube

Pros

• Shows the procedure on how to create a random list of numbers in the calculator
• Provides additional problems for extra practice if needed

Cons

• None
