Texas Instruments: Numb3 Rs: Walkabout

Curated by ACT

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson has students simulate a one-dimensional random walk (by either moving up or down) and then finding patterns concerning how many "ways" a walk could end in various spots. The lesson concludes by drawing a relationship between the expected length of a walk and the value of pi.
