Activity-Based Statistics helps build real statistical understanding through a set of innovative hands-on activities that can be used each day in conjunction with other texts. The second edition continues to emphasize discovery by motivating readers to apply the skills they have learned to discover the everyday relevance of statistics. There are over 45 activities and five long-term projects that have been updated and extended to encourage readers to experience statistics in context. While the second edition includes updated technology extensions for Fathom, technology is used throughout the book to extend activities and is not required to complete them.

activity-based statistics

<p>The second edition of Activity-Based Statistics, revised by Tim Erickson, 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. 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 easy 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 Student Guide is affordably-priced for supplemental adoption in addition to another core statistics text. With over 40 activities from which to choose, instructors should easily find many that are appropriate for both the college introductory course curricula and AP Statistics. Using Activity-Based Statistics in addition to any standard introductory statistics text helps students experience statistics in context and discover its everyday relevance. Activities can be introduced once students have become familiar with standard statistics topics. The directions for each activity are simple and easy to understand, and most can be completed in one 50-minute class period.</p>
