Re: [Edu-sig] probability and statistics demo for kids

Hi All, Thanks for the great comments. Sorry for the delay. I have reviewed most of the materials and will review more. I drafted a presentation plan for next Friday here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MNIwqjJ2kVS80zy69606TEPLZGy_e-5W0Ae7L5BeaNE/edit?usp=sharing If you have any more

​In terms of Machine Learning more generally, I want to give special recognition to Jake VanderPlas, an astronomer who dives deep into scikit-learn in some multi-hour Youtube-shared tutorials. Example: https://youtu.be/L7R4HUQ-eQ0 His excellent keynote at Pycon2017: https://youtu.be/ZyjCqQEUa8o

Here's the AP Statistics course page for instructors: https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/courses/ap-statistics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AP_Statistics It's probably worth mentioning nbgrader for grading notebooks and nbval for testing notebooks: https://github.com/jupyter/nbgrader

The programs / code examples you all have proposed look great. Perry, I think your idea to teach Bayesian statistics to 6-8th graders sounds great! Just wanted to chime in on a different angle of this: the relevance of the problem(s) that you address. Here is a video of one of my former high

I'm a big fan of Galton Boards: https://youtu.be/3m4bxse2JEQ (lots more on Youtube) Python + Dice idea = Simple Code http://www.pythonforbeginners.com/code-snippets-source-code/game-rolling-the-dice/ I'd introduce the idea that 1 die = Uniform Probability but 2+ dice = Binomial distribution

I tried using Jupyter Notebooks last year with my Calc and preCalc students last year. However, I'm using CoCalc.com which is Sage Math Cloud gone commercial. It was free to use for a while. However, if you use it regularly as I have, you get a big red banner across the screen telling you to

I am thinking of doing a simplified interactive presentation on probability and Bayesian statistics for my kids' elementary school. I think it would probably be best for 6-8th graders, but there might be ways to do this for younger students. I'd like to run some Python code to show probability
