Description

This resource from Susan P. Holmes at Stanford University, reviewed by Illuminations for grades 9-12, features a collection of applets demonstrating probability. For example, in the Birthday Problem Applet, students can randomly generate a number of dates representing birthdays and track when two of the generated dates match. The other applets explore similar themes. Read the full review on the Illuminations site, where you can access this resource directly.
