Possible Solutions
Students will use simulations to represent simple and compound events with and without technology. A simulation is an experiment or model used to test the outcomes of an event. Simulations that require no technology include spinners, color tiles, two-color counters, coins, deck of cards, or dice. Simulations that require technology may include calculators, random number generator, or a computer model.
