Designing Models to Simulate Actual Events Using a Random Number Generator

Pupils visualize distance-rate-time problems by using bar models. The lesson presents examples of four different types of rate problems and shows how they can be solved using bar models and equations. Each example is followed by a...

Tables are useful for more than just eating. Learners use tables to organize data and calculate probabilities and conditional probabilities. 

Linear, quadratic, and now cubic functions can model real-life patterns. High schoolers create cubic regression equations to model different scenarios. They then use the regression equations to make predictions.

The future lies in mathematics. Given a linear equation that models a context, scholars use the model to predict future values. They must perform substitution to determine the required output value.

Students design models to simulate actual events using a tale of random digits. They estimate the likelihood of a particular outcome using results of simulation. Students investigate the uses of statistical methods to analyze data.

Students explore the concept of simulating actual events using a random digit table. In this simulating actual events lesson, students conduct simulations using a random digit table.

Students explore the concept of probability. In this probability lesson, students discuss theoretical probability. Students discuss differences between actual probability and theoretical probability. Students determine the probability of...

Students design models to simulate actual events using various random devices. They estimate the likelihood of a particular outcome using results of simulation. In addition, they simulate the births of three children to a using a coin.

Students explore the concept of simulating actual events. In this simulating actual events lesson, students use a random number generator on their calculator to conduct probabilities of a goalie saving a goal, flipping a coin, and other...

Students explore the concept of simulating actual events. In this simulating actual events lesson plan, students use coins, dice, spinners, and random number generators to simulate actual events such as a goalie saving a goal.
