This week I used the Random Number Generator App while teaching probability. They students began by writing all of the numbers from 1-20. Then they circled the even numbers. I asked them some questions about those numbers. After completing that introductory activity, they were to open the Random Number Generator App and set it to generated numbers 1-20 as well as repeat numbers randomly. They then generated 20 numbers and recorded their results. After gathering their information, they answered some questions comparing their results with the probability questions asked before gathering their information.
This was a wonderful way to use this app for probability. The students loved it and were engaged throughout the entire lesson.
Thanks for sharing. I am going to check out this app. Probability is a skill that many students have yet to grasp. This sounds like a fun way to teach and practice it.
