Applications of Pascal's Triangle for Middle School Students.
Merrill, William L.
This unit is designed to acquaint middle school students with Pascal's Triangle. The unit is intended to be completed in small groups with a minimum of teacher direction. Students complete the activities by using manipulatives, calculators and computers and then report the results to the teacher and the class. The activities include: (1) patterns and puzzles with colored rods; (2) "random" walks with a street map; (3) coin toss investigation; (4) explorations with subsets; (5) explanation of Pascal's Triangle; (6) probability with dice; and (8) extensions on some of the activities. Teacher's notes, with answers, and a reference list accompany the unit. (PK)
