More DescriptionThe second edition of Activity-Based Statistics, remains true to the vision of the original, highly respected author team: A set of basic, hands-on, exploratory activities that can be completed without the use of technology and in one class period. Because these activities are designed to be conducted with materials that are easily obtainable (coins, dice, pasta, paper, marbles, and so on), their implementation is made simple for any instructor without regard to budget concerns or technology proficiency. By making the activities fun and engaging the authors are promoting the idea that statistics is, indeed, an experimental science. The Instructor Resources includes a CD-ROM which includes: data sets for the book's activities rendered in: Fathom, Excel, and Minitab. The CD also includes a limited use version of Fathom Dynamic Statistics™ software from Key Curriculum Press to allow instructors to present or demonstrate data from the text within the Fathom environment.
