Problem Review Teacher Review (Based on classroom experience)
Classroom use in Courses and Topics: Probability & Statistics:
Samples and Experiments, Probability Duration of classroom use:
One Class What did students learn? What did students do with the
resource? I had students use this applet along with a collection
of other tools in a probability exploration activity How hard
was it for students to use? Very Easy Other classroom comments:
This applets is slower than some others, but more visual;

applet (but I found it frustratingly slow). Appropriate for:
introduction to a concept What math does one need to know to use

work? How hard was it for you to learn? Though no directions
were provided, clic
