• Resumen

  • During their work with statistics, students should be able to compare two treatments from a randomized experiment and use a simulation to determine statistical significance informally. To achieve these goals, Nirode developed a method to collect student data in his classroom from hands-on simulations. The advantage of hands-on simulations over using formulas is that students can develop a conceptual understanding of statistical significance when they see the variation that occurs from sample to sample as the results of the experiment are rerandomized each time the simulation runs. He then describe how to use Google Forms and Google Sheets to convert the simulation data that students submit using their cell phones into a single column of data that can then be displayed as a dot plot.
