Ross, Kevin; Sun, Dennis L. – Journal of Statistics Education, 2019
Simulation is an effective tool for analyzing probability models as well as for facilitating understanding of concepts in probability and statistics. Unfortunately, implementing a simulation from scratch often requires users to think about programming issues that are not relevant to the simulation itself. We have developed a Python package called…

Swanier, Cheryl A.; Seals, Cheryl D.; Billionniere, Elodie V. – Journal of Educational Technology, 2009
This paper aims to address the need of increasing student achievement in mathematics using a visual programming language such as Scratch. This visual programming language facilitates creating an environment where students in K-12 education can develop mathematical simulations while learning a visual programming language at the same time.…

Marasinghe, Mervyn; Duckworth, William M.; Shin, Tae-Sung – Journal of Statistics Education, 2004
This paper extends work on the construction of instructional modules that use graphical and simulation techniques for teaching statistical concepts (Marasinghe, et al. 1996; Iversen and Marasinghe 2001). These modules consist of two components: a software part and a lesson part. A computer program written in LISP-STAT with a highly interactive…

Kantowski, Mary Grace – Viewpoints in Teaching and Learning, 1981
The microcomputer has great potential for making high school geometry more stimulating and more easily understood by the students. The microcomputer can facilitate instruction in both the logico-deductive and spatial-visual aspects of geometry through graphics representations, simulation of motion, and its capability of interacting with the…
