Description :

This course will focus on teaching probability and statistics in a carefully planned sequence of classroom activities that help students develop their statistical intuition and techniques. The approach will be through “simulations” – using spinners, dice, random number generators, etc. This class is designed for classroom teachers – there are no specific prerequisites in statistics or technology. Participants will become fluent in the uses of the TI-84+ as tool for teaching statistics. Calculators will be available for teachers to borrow during the course. The course will use many of the activities in the Quantitative Literacy Series published by Pearson: Exploring Data, Exploring Probability, the Art and Techniques of Simulation. These NSF-sponsored activities were fundamental in developing the new standards-based approach to statistical education.
