Experimental Probability

We are starting to learn about the differences between theoretical and experimental probability. In studying experimental probability, we will work with a variety of simulations -- ways of recreating or simulating real life situations so that we can see what might really happen, and compare that with what mathematics predicts will happen "theoretically." It makes for a lot of "shaking and spinning and rolling and flipping" in math class...
