Description
The Workshop Statistics (TM) series has set a standard for teaching statistics in an innovative, investigative, and accessible manner for introductory college courses, as well as for the high school statistics classroom, including AP (R) Statistics. In its third edition, Workshop Statistics: Discovery with Data continues to emphasize collaborative learning, require student observation, and integrate technology for gathering, recording, and synthesizing data. The third edition provides even more guidance and resources for students to support their active learning of statistics and includes updated real data sets with everyday applications in order to promote statistical literacy. This version of the text provides the most flexibility in selecting technology tools and is recommended for classrooms primarily using technologies other than graphing calculators or Fathom (TM) Dynamic Data software.
