Activity 2: Birthday Buddies


(Suitable for CAS extension)
What is the chance of sharing a birthday with someone in your class? This simple question offers a rich context for mathematical modeling, which is potentially accessible to students from the early years of secondary school to seniors. Using TI-Nspire CAS, students are offered the tools by which they can investigate the problem and build a meaningful model, which will deepen their understanding of the problem, and help them to further appreciate the applications of mathematics to their world.
