Abstract:

Ever wondered if you could do activities in classrooms of 200 students or more? This paper presents activities we have used in our introductory statistics course at Brigham Young University. These activities are used to help students learn difficult statistical concepts such as sampling distribution, level of confidence and statistical significance. They are specifically designed for large classes. We will share our experience of what works and what doesn't work. We will also give feedback from our students.
