Curses and Re-Curses! It's Happening Again.

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Students study basic recursion by exploring patterns in the data they generate from two simple probability-based experiments. In the first, students flip a coin to discover how many times they must flip it before it lands on "heads." They do ten trials. Students create a par graph of the information, working as a class to summarize the results.
