[|Resources for Teaching Statistics in Middle School]
we offer lesson ideas on [|Teaching the Basics], those core statistical concepts to be covered in the middle school curriculum, such as the mean and the median, box-and-whisker plots, and scatter plots. [|Tools for Displaying Data] supports this teaching. This section contains applets for creating representations of data, meaningful “pictures” that capture the data visually.

[|Stem and Leaf Plots]
=[|Thematic Mapping Engine]= Thematic Mapping Engine (TME) enables you to visualise global statistics on Google Earth. The primary data source is [|UNdata]. The engine returns a KMZ file that you can open in Google Earth or download to your computer.

**Probability**
A short tutorial with interactive questions from [|Mrs. Glosser’s Math Goodies]. See also: [|Rolling a Pair of Dice], [|Conditional Probability], and the [|Challenge Exercises]. When more than one thing is happening in a probability problem, how do you know whether to add the probabilities or multiply them? And what happens if the events are not mutually exclusive? In order to master probability, you must learn to [|count]. There is more to it than simply 1, 2, 3! Check out as many of these links as you have time for, and you will be well prepared for the test. If you are brave, test yourself with the puzzles in this post. Don’t read the comments until you have tried to answer the questions — but then, be sure to read them and be encouraged. We math teachers don’t always get the correct answer right away, either!
