Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mathematical teaching aids, in particular to a probability model demonstration teaching aid. Background Art
[0002] Probability model demonstration teaching aids are an important auxiliary tool in the teaching process, especially in the teaching of probability theory and statistics. Through intuitive demonstration, students can more easily understand and master abstract mathematical concepts. In the current educational environment, many probability model demonstrations rely on computer simulations, but this may not be conducive to students' intuitive understanding of the practical application of probability in some cases. Compared with electronic devices, physical teaching aids can better provide interactivity and intuitive feelings, enabling students to deepen their understanding of concepts such as probability distribution, statistical laws, and the law of large numbers through hands-on operations.
[0003] In the probability model, there is a statistical simulation method that estimates mathematical expectations and other quantities through a large number of random sampling. In this method, estimating pi is a demonstration example, which estimates the value of pi by randomly scattering points in a unit square and calculating the proportion of points that fall within the unit circle. However, there is currently a lack of physical teaching aids designed specifically for this purpose on the market, and teachers often need to design them themselves or use existing, incompletely suitable tools for demonstration. This not only increases the complexity of teaching preparation, but may also affect the demonstration effect.
[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides a specially designed probability model demonstration teaching aid, which can simplify teaching preparation, improve teaching effect, and enhance students' understanding of probability concept through practical operation. The teaching aid is reasonably designed and easy to use, and can effectively demonstrate the principle and process of estimating pi by Monte Carlo method. Utility Model Content

[0027] Reference Manual Attached Figure 1-5 The present utility model embodiment provides a probability model demonstration teaching aid, including:
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, a main body 11, corners 21 and an inner circle 22 are provided in the main body 11. A square inner cavity 14 is provided in the inner cavity 14. An inner circle 22 is marked in the inner cavity 14. The diameter of the inner circle 22 is equal to the side length of the square of the bottom surface of the inner cavity 14. The inner circle 22 divides the corners 21 at the four corners of the bottom surface of the inner cavity 14. The four sides of the bottom surface of the inner cavity 14 are tangent to the inner circle 22. The center of the bottom surface of the inner cavity 14 coincides with the center of the inner circle 22. A plurality of small balls are also included.
[0029] The side length of the bottom surface of the inner cavity 14 is at least greater than or equal to the sum of the diameters of 10 small balls. If the number of small balls that the inner cavity 14 can accommodate is too small, the subsequent estimation accuracy will be affected.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, two mutually perpendicular sides of the upper end surface of the body 11 are provided with mutually perpendicular levels 13 for keeping the teaching aids level when setting the teaching aids.
[0031] A base 12 is provided on the bottom surface of the body 11 for supporting the body 11 and making it more convenient to take.
[0032] The base 12 is circular, so that the teaching aids can be more stable when being set.
[0033] The method of using the utility model to estimate pi is as follows: after the body 11 is placed horizontally according to the level 13, the student or teacher throws a number of small balls into the inner cavity 14 in sequence or together, so that the small balls randomly fall at different positions in the inner cavity 14;
[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the utility model embodiment is Figure 3 Take the case as an example to illustrate that 30 small balls are thrown into the inner cavity 14 , 6 small balls fall into the corners 21 , and 24 small balls fall into the inner circle 22 .
[0035] Because the side length of the bottom of the inner cavity 14 is equal to the diameter of the inner circle 22, and the ratio of the number of balls falling in the inner circle 22 to the total number of balls should be infinitely equal to the ratio of the area of the inner circle 22 to the area of the bottom of the inner cavity 14, so
[0036]
[0037] In the above formula, πr 2 represents the area of the inner circle 22, 4r 2 represents the bottom area of the inner cavity 14, π represents the estimated pi, B c represents the number of balls falling into the inner circle 22, and B represents the number of balls thrown into the inner cavity 14. After a simple calculation, the following formula is obtained:
[0038]
[0039] According to the above formula, the value of pi can be estimated. Figure 3 Ball data inside: B c =24, B=30, we can get
[0040]
[0041] After multiple experiments, finding the average of the estimated pi or increasing the number of balls can increase the accuracy of the estimate, making the estimated pi closer to the true value of pi.
[0042] The beneficial effects brought by the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the utility model include at least:
[0043] (1) In the present invention, the probability model demonstration teaching aid is concise and intuitive. Students can throw the ball randomly into the inner cavity through actual operation, directly observe and record the experimental results. Through this interactive method, students can more intuitively understand the probability distribution and statistical laws, and enhance their learning interest and understanding effect;
[0044] (2) In the present invention, the design of the teaching aid takes the estimation accuracy into consideration. The side length of the bottom surface of the inner cavity is at least greater than or equal to the sum of the diameters of 10 small balls, ensuring that a sufficient number of small balls can be accommodated, thereby increasing the sample size of the experimental data. After the sample size increases, according to the law of large numbers, the estimated value of pi will be closer to the true value, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the experiment;
[0045] (3) In the utility model, the spirit level arranged on the upper end surface of the main body ensures that the teaching aid is placed horizontally during use, avoiding the influence of tilt on the experimental results. In addition, the base is designed to be circular, which makes the teaching aid more stable when placed, increasing the repeatability and accuracy of the experiment. At the same time, the base design makes the teaching aid easy to take, carry and use, thereby improving the practicality and portability of the teaching aid and making it suitable for use in various teaching environments.
