Abstract:
|
The Statway project is a national project to provide a one-year experience to get students to and through a solid Elementary Statistics course, even if their math background is weak. It integrates developmental math topics with activities involving data to help students increase their conceptual skills appropriately so that they can confidently learn the material in a standard Elementary Statistics course. This presentation focuses on what math topics we chose, why, and how we structured the material to have most of the math topics arise in the context of modeling.
