Opis

Reports the work of the statistics working group established by NCRMSE to begin an interdisciplinary dialoge to clarify what statistics instruction & assessment means for pre-college-level grades.

Recenzje

"This volume represents the emerging findings of an interdisciplinary collaboration among a group of mathematics educators, cognitive scientists, teachers, and statisticians to introduce satistics education and assessment for students in primary and secondary schools."
—Zentiarbiatt fur Dedaktik du Mathematik

"I highly recommend the book to teachers who would like to ground their lessons in the sort of mathematical investigations that were undertaken throughout history. The book is useful for teachers looking for enrichment exercises or good exposition on the historical development of a topic under study."
—The Mathematics Teacher

"The writing is clear, and graphs, tables and charts are provided in abundance to support the text. The classrooms used in the studies indicated a mix relative to gender and race, and one reviewer stated that the research questions did not seem biased in any way."
—Horizon Research
