Activity Based Materials for Learning Probability and Statistics - Thursday, February 12, 2004, 3:30-4:30 p.m. on Huntsville City Schools Closed Circuit TV (ETV Channel 9). Activity-based curriculum materials to teach probability and statistics concepts were reviewed and demonstrated. Additionally, an overview of the AP Statistics course and exam was presented. Teachers left with materials that incorporate simulation, discovery learning and group work to enhance learning of statistical concepts covered in the AP Statistics and other data analysis courses.
