Programming, Probability, and the Modern Mathematics Classroom — Exercises Part 2

This post is part of the ppmmc series.

In part 1 I gave a few exercises that introduced functions, for loops, and arrays. I left it to the instructor to provide the appropriate discussion about probability as it fits her classroom. In this post, I give additional exercises that build on coin flips and again I leave the pedagogical decisions to the instructor. These exercises will also reinforce the programming concepts introduced in previous posts. Please make sure to have read the previous posts in the ppmmc series so that the context is understood.

Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have questions or would like more information about setting up a workshop or training in your school.
