Book Review

Graded Simulations 3
by Ken Jones.
Blackwell, 1985, soft cover.

Three simulations, with all the needed materials for classroom use, and notes on their use. If you have never run a simulation before, it is a good idea to run one of these first, to give you ideas on how to go about it! This is one of those must have resource materials.
