Demonstrates how fractions are added and subtracted.
This worksheet is for use with the Estimator Quiz activity (http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/EstimatorQuiz/).
Caesar Cipher II (Activity)
Encode and decode messages to determine the form for an affine cipher. Input a message to encode, then input your guesses for the constant and multiplier. Caesar Cipher II is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
Students learn basic ideas about graphing points on the coordinate plane.
Advanced Monty Hall (Activity)
Choose one of N doors to experimentally determine the odds of winning the grand prize behind one of the doors, as in the TV program "Let's Make a Deal." Parameters: Number of doors, number of trials, staying or switching between the two remaining doors.
Normal Distribution (Activity)
Change the standard deviation of an automatically generated normal distribution to create a new histogram. Observe how well the histogram fits the curve, and how areas under the curve correspond to the number of trials. Parameters: standard deviation, number of trials, class intervals.
Spinner (Activity)
Create a game spinner with one to twelve sectors in order to look at experimental and theoretical probabilities. Parameters: Number of sectors, number of trials.
Adjustable Spinner (Activity)
Create a game spinner with variable sized sectors to look at experimental and theoretical probabilities. Parameters: Sizes of sectors, number of sectors, number of trials.
Skew Distribution (Activity)
Change the median and standard deviation of an automatically generated normal distribution to create a skewed distribution, allowing you to observe properties like what it means for the mean, median, and mode to be different. Parameters: median, standard deviation, number of trials, class intervals.
Discusses the notion of functions as a "number machine" with input and output.
