Random Explorations


This morning we spent time flipping coins and looking for "streaks", and predicting/discussing how long we expect them to be.  Then when transitioned to coding we simulated flipping LOTS of coins...millions and millions of them.

We got to see how the actual physical process (flipping real coins), a computer program that generates pseudo-random numbers, and some math (exponents) are all representations of the same thing.
