Description
The Sampler Engine in TinkerPlots is a powerful tool for quickly and easily performing probability experiments with any number of repeats, enabling exploration of theoretical versus experimental probabilities, and the Law of Large Numbers. In this TinkerPlots webinar for beginners, you’ll learn how to use all of TinkerPlots’ sampling devices (such as spinners and counters), enabling probability experiments for elements with equal distribution, as well as any type of unequal distribution. And, you’ll leave with classroom-ready activities.

I taught mathematics for five years in Berkeley and Oakland, California, before coming to Key Curriculum. Teaching with powerful curricula like the Interactive Mathematics Program and Paul Foerster's Calculus had a profound impact on me and my students' experiences in the classroom, and led me to become a part of the team at Key that delivers powerful learning materials. I've been with Key since 2002, first as a development editor, later as Executive Editor, and currently as Product Management Director.
