4. Teaching Data Analysis

5. Planning for Focused Instruction:  “The amount of statistical information available to help make decisions in business, politics, research, and everyday life is staggering.” Such as:  Consumer surveys guide the development and marketing of products.  Experiments evaluate the safety and efficacy of new medical treatments.  Statistics sway public opinion on issues and represent--or misrepresent--the quality and effectiveness of commercial products.

6. Planning for Focused Instruction:  “Through experiences with the collection and analysis of data, students learn how to interpret such information.”  “Young children will not develop statistical reasoning if it is not included in the curriculum. Work in data analysis and probability offers a natural way for students to connect mathematics with other school subjects and with everyday experiences.” (NCTM)

7. Objective and Rational for teaching Data Analysis:  Therefore, students should be able to….. formulate questions that can be addressed with data and collect, organize, and display relevant data to answer them; select and use appropriate statistical methods to analyze data; develop and evaluate inferences and predictions that are based on data (NCTM).
