Curated OER
Explorations for the Area Probability Applet
Math whizzes use the area probability applet to manipulate the size of the circle and the rectangle to explore the probability that a point in the rectangle is also in the circle.
Curated OER
Drawing One and Two Playing Cards With Replacement
Math whizzes use data from simulations to make theoretical generalizations and discuss possible relationships between several given events. They use a simple card game to generate data to be analyzed.
