Direct linkRivera, Jason D. – Journal of Public Affairs Education, 2019
Across all social science disciplines, but in particular public administration, there is a shared concern about the costs of using traditional random samples to generate data, and its impact on researchers' ability to engage in "quality" research. As a result of these costs, more academics, practitioners, and students are turning to…

Peer reviewedStone, Janine S. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1980
A number game, used with sixth- and seventh-grade students, involving place value is described and discussed. (MK)
Descriptors: Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Games, Mathematics Instruction
Peer reviewedLitwiller, Bonnie H.; Duncan, David R. – Mathematics Teacher, 1984
How probabilities change when playing the game of craps with dice having 8, 12, or 20 faces is discussed. Five challenge questions are also included. (MNS)
Descriptors: Educational Games, Mathematical Enrichment, Mathematics Instruction, Probability
Peer reviewedShaw, Jean M. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1984
Activities involving spinners and dice are presented. Making the materials is noted, followed by activities on counting, computation, probability, fractions, and other ideas. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computation, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Fractions
Peer reviewedMathematics Teacher, 1984
Included in this section are brief articles on making up a story to explain a graph, the inverse of a function of a single variable, and exotic horse-race wagering and combinatorics. (MNS)

Peer reviewedHope, Jack A.; Kelly, Ivan W. – Mathematics Teacher, 1983
Several common errors reflecting difficulties in probabilistic reasoning are identified, relating to ambiguity, previous outcomes, sampling, unusual events, and estimating. Knowledge of these mistakes and interpretations may help mathematics teachers understand the thought processes of their students. (MNS)

Peer reviewedKimberling, Clark – Mathematics Teacher, 1984
A computer program is presented which simulates the classical probability machine, using Applesoft II high-resolution graphics. Many variables are left to the user's choosing. Suggestions for using the machine, understanding the problem, the mathematical model, and further program documentation are given. (MNS)

Peer reviewedMullet, Gary M. – Mathematics Teacher, 1980
Some counterintuitive ideas in probability are examined. In particular, for sequential selection procedure, such as drawing cards, it is shown that there is probabilistic advantage to drawing first (or early) relative to drawing last (or late) in the sequence. (Author/MK)

Peer reviewedRidenhour, Jim R.; Woodward, Ernest – Mathematics Teacher, 1984
The probability of winning the contest was analyzed, with the mathematical solution and a computer simulation given. A flowchart and computer program are both included. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Programs, Computer Simulation, Flow Charts, Games
