Using Simulations to Enhance Understanding in Probability

Reading the papers in the 2022 Special Issue of the CJSMTE dedicated to the teaching and learning of probability, we realized that we could contribute further to the topic by showing how coding (computational thinking), in particular computer simulations, can be used to enhance intuition and understanding of important probabilistic concepts and ideas. The focus of this article is not on coding, nor on learning how to code. Instead, through …
