The MWM program provides middle and high school mathematics and science teachers an opportunity to discuss and apply the data analysis, data science, and statistical concepts embodied in the NCTM Catalyzing Change books and the American Statistical Association’s (ASA) Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education (GAISE) Pre-K-12 Curriculum Framework. Teachers will examine the Mathematical Practices from a statistical point of view and study ways to assess student understanding of statistical concepts. Teachers will explore problems that require them to formulate statistical questions, collect, organize, analyze, and draw conclusions from data. The MWM program includes examining what students can be expected to do at the most basic level of understanding data analysis and what can be expected of them as their skills develop and experience broadens.
The workshop is free and we expect to provide a small stipend for teachers who participate in the entire virtual workshop.
This workshop is being conducted on behalf of the Joint Committee of the American Statistical Association and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.
