Determine the value of a given fraction represented as a point on a number line. Then find a fraction whose value is a given fraction. Fraction Pointer is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
Algorithm (Discussion)
Introduces the concept of algorithms and how algorithms affect mathematics.
This worksheet is for use with the Caesar Cipher III activity (http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/CaesarCipherThree/).
Students learn basic ideas about graphing points on the coordinate plane.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Measures (Activity)
Enter data and view the mean, median, variance, and standard deviation of the data set. Parameters: Number of observations, range for observations, which statistics to view, identifiers for the data.
Introduces conditional probability and the probability of simultaneous events.
