Benakli, Nadia; Kostadinov, Boyan; Satyanarayana, Ashwin; Singh, Satyanand – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
The goal of this paper is to promote computational thinking among mathematics, engineering, science and technology students, through hands-on computer experiments. These activities have the potential to empower students to learn, create and invent with technology, and they engage computational thinking through simulations, visualizations and data…

Barnes, Bernis, Ed.; And Others – 1970
This teacher's guide to probability and statistics contains three major sections. The first section on elementary combinatorial principles includes activities, student problems, and suggested teaching procedures for the multiplication principle, permutations, and combinations. Section two develops an intuitive approach to probability through…

Shaughnessy, J. Michael – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1977
The author presents an approach to the teaching of undergraduate introductory probability and statistics. He also presents experimental evidence that suggests the approach helps students rely upon probability theory in making estimates for the likelihood of events rather than rely upon heuristic principles which may bias probability estimates.

Watson, F. R. – 1980
This collection of documents promotes simulation as an attractive topic in mathematics instruction that provides game-like activities likely to interest pupils, by illustrating the important ideas of probability and showing how mathematical models can be used in practical problems clearly relevant to everyday life. While computer programs written…
