Data & Probability Connections

This book is for future middle school math teachers. Part of a project funded by the National Science Foundation to improve the quality of mathematics and science teaching in grades K-12, this new text helps future teachers connect their college-level statistics to topics in standards-based middle school mathematics curricula. Designed to promote active learning, "Data Analysis and Probability Connections" models the student-centered approach recommended by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. The other titles in the "Prentice Hall Connections in Mathematics Courses for Teachers" include: "Geometry Connections: Mathematics for Middle School Teachers"; "Algebra Connections: Mathematics for Middle School Teachers"; "Data and Probability Connections: Mathematics for Middle School Teachers"; and, "Calculus Connections: Mathematics for Middle School Teachers".
