Active Learning? Not with My Syllabus!
Ernst, Michael D.
Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, v34 n1 p21-24 Spr 2012
We describe an approach to teaching probability that minimizes the amount of class time spent on the topic while also providing a meaningful (dice-rolling) activity to get students engaged. The activity, which has a surprising outcome, illustrates the basic ideas of informal probability and how probability is used in statistical inference. (Contains 2 tables.)
