Contributed by Karen LaRossa (thanks!) - Students can create spinners divided into the number of sections to meet their needs and roll electronic dice to experiment with probability. Allows students to participate in experimental probability activities to form a deeper understanding of the concepts. Great for 'hands on' learners to create the spinners to explore probability.
