Instruction
Promote these skills by using explorations and problem solving!
1. Use real data sets - from students background knowledgele, real world to increase interest, motivation, and enagement
2. Use hands-on data or objects - not just numbers or made up simulations
3. Give students a range of experiences with different representations (graphs) and data sets
4. Use everyday objects to develop probability concepts - dice, spinners, coins
5. Remember the importance of vocabulary
6. Give examples of how statistics might/can be misused.
