Developing Thinking in Statistics
Statistics is a key area of the school mathematics curriculum where maths and the real world meet. Although potentially a subject where teaching can be motivating and relevent to everyday concerns, it is often seen as boring and involving largely mechanical calculations. This book 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 learners. Designed to heighten awareness of statistical ideas, the book explores key themes within statistics using approaches developed by the influential team at The Open University Centre for Mathematics Education. Themes Include: - measurement
- variation
- randomness
- uncertainty
Arranged in an accessible task-based format, this is an essential text for all secondary maths teachers and students of maths education. It is a comprehensive book that will illuminate and inspire interest in the subject, based in innovative used of ICT, engaging narrative, firm, research and good practice.
