Developing Thinking in Statistics

by Alan Graham

Statistics is a key area of the school mathematics curriculum where maths and the real world meet. Developing Thinking in Statistics will enable teachers and others interested in statistical thinking to become excited and inspired by the big ideas of statistics and, in turn, teach them enthusiastically to pupils aged seven to 16 years. The book explores key themes within statistics using ideas developed by the influential team at The Open University's Centre for Mathematics Education. Ideas are presented imaginatively through a variety of approaches, including ICT-based simulations and also through the medium of 'telling' stories and events. Developing Thinking in Statistics is a set book on The Open University course, Developing Statistical Thinking, part of the graduate diploma in mathematics education.

Just left of pedagogy with some challenges to both teacher and student. Probably for teachers only.
