Simulating Probability Situations Using Box Models
The interactive tool in this i-Math investigation is a "box model" that allows students to explore the relationship between theoretical and experimental probabilities. A "box model" is a statistical device that can be used to simulate standard probability experiments such as flipping a coin or rolling a die.

Combinations
This lesson focuses on combinations, a subject related to the probability-and-statistics strand of mathematics.  Students will be encouraged to discover all the combinations for the given problem-solving skills (including elimination and collection of organized data) and drawing conclusions.  The use of higher-level thinking skills (synthesis analysis, and evaluations) is the overall goal.   This lesson is taken from "Ideas:  Combinations" by  Marcy Cook that appeared in The Arithmetic Teacher Vol.36, No.1 (September, 1988) pp. 31 - 36.
