Book Overview

Activities utilize the principles of student engagement and active learning and place stronger emphasis on developing students' conceptual understanding of key statistical ideas Focus is on real, genuine data that students generate themselves to teach the real-world relevance of statistics Nearly half the activities require the use of a software package or graphing calculator, but this version of the text refers to technology generically and does not provide instructions for particular software Teaches and requires group work, student writing and communication, and problem identification and solving Models the philosophy and conforms to the research conclusions of two important sets of studies and recommendations: Garfield's "How Students Learn Statistics" and the "GAISE Guidelines"
