In this activity, you can simulate throwing darts randomly at a square. Once you do so, a sampling square will appear. You can use the point to move this sampling square around to see how many dots you have sampled. The sample square is 1/16th of the area of the square dart board. Can you figure out how many total darts were thrown without counting all of them? Once you have an idea, enter it into the box and click on "Check Estimate".
