What Does It Mean to Do Something Randomly?
Liu, Yating; Enderson, Mary C.
Mathematics Teacher, v110 n5 p364-370 Dec 2016
A mysterious conflict of solutions emerged when a group of tenth- and eleventh-grade students were studying a seemingly ordinary problem on combination and probability. By investigating the mysterious "conflicts" caused by multiple randomization procedures, students will gain a deeper understanding of what it means to perform a task randomly and, ultimately, achieve a more mature perception of probability theory.
