Abstract
To support the teaching of statistics in secondary schools as recommended by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics 2000 Principles and Standards for School Mathematics and the American Statistical Association 2005 Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education, the faculty at Iowa State University designed a new curriculum in statistical content for future secondary mathematics teachers. Based on recommendations from national mathematics committees, this new curriculum engages future secondary mathematics teachers with data collection and analysis, inferential statistics, and probability, and highlights connections and differences between mathematics and statistics.
