Calculator Simulations for Probability and Statistics

Description
If you are obliged to follow a mandated math curriculum at your school, then I suggest you read no further because this site is probably not suitable for you. However, if you are looking for something that is different, yet might spark an interest in either you or your students, then it might be worthwhile for you to continue reading.
In 1994 I wrote an alternative curriculum for our Probability and Statistics students that employed Monte Carlo simulations. The students’ reactions were so positive that we increased from one section of this course to three sections in just three years.
Eventually, I wrote an enrichment booklet series called Ten Plus One for American Educational Products that contained some of those ideas. Of the original six booklets, four remain in their catalog for sale, but the other two have been discontinued so I am free to sell them myself through TpT. This booklet is titled as Calculator Simulations .
