Discover a bold new vision for high school mathematics that empowers students through engaging, real-world learning. For decades, mathematics education has been guided by the visionary efforts of educators and leaders who recognized the importance of making math relevant, engaging, and accessible to all students. From the foundational principles set forth in the 1980 An Agenda for Action to the 2000 Standards of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) to 2014’s Principles to Actions and more, the landscape of math education has been shaped by a commitment to progress throughout the United States and Canada. Yet, challenges remain. Progress has been uneven, and many students still lack equitable access to the experiences that will empower them to navigate a world increasingly driven by data and technology. To address this, a team of mathematics teachers, leaders, and educational organizations, including NCTM, NCSM: Leadership in Mathematics Education, and the Association of State Supervisors of Mathematics (ASSM), came together to create a bold new vision for high school math education. High School Mathematics Reimagined, Revitalized, and Relevant is not just a publication; it is a call to action. It provides a thoughtful and practical guide for educators, school district leaders, and policymakers to rethink and restructure high school mathematics. By centering the student experience and emphasizing the development of mathematical and statistical processes, this work aims to make math not only relevant but essential for every student. This is not the final word but the next step in an ongoing journey. We owe it to our students—and to the future—to continue this work, to collaborate, and to ensure that every high school student has the opportunity to thrive in a world where mathematics is more important than ever. Join us in shaping the future of high school mathematics education, where every student can find purpose and possibility in the power of math.

For courses in introductory statistics. The art and science of learning from data Statistics: The Art and Science of Learning from Data takes a conceptual approach,helping students understand what statistics is about and learning the rightquestions to ask when analyzing data, rather than just memorizing procedures. This book takes the ideas that have turned statistics into a central science inmodern life and makes them accessible, without compromising the necessaryrigor. Students will enjoy reading this book, and will stay engaged with itswide variety of real-world data in the examples and exercises.

Introduce your students to the art and science of learning from data. Statistics: The Art and Science of Learning from Data, Global Edition, 5th edition is the ideal introduction to statistics, encouraging students to analyse data the right way by enquiring and searching for the right questions and information rather than just memorising procedures.

In 2020 as the Pre-K-12 Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education II: A Framework for Statistics and Data Science Education report (GAISE II) is published, never have data and statistical literacy been more important. The public is being called upon to synthesize information from many global issues, including the COVID-19 global pandemic, a changing planet with extreme weather conditions, economic upturns and downturns, and important social issues such as the Black Lives Matter movement. Data are encountered through visualizations (sometimes interactive and sometimes not), reports from scientific studies (such as medical studies), journalists' articles and websites. The demands for statistical literacy have never been greater. Statistically literate high-school graduate need to be able to evaluate the conclusions and legitimacy of reported results as well as formulate their own analyses. Driven by the digital revolution, data are now readily accessible to statistical methods and technological tools so that students can to gain insights and make recommendations to manage pressing world issues. Data can be extremely valuable, but only if they are used judiciously and in a proper context. Today, many sectors of the economy and most jobs rely on data skills. Good data sense is needed to easily read the news and to participate in society as a well-informed member. Because of this, it is essential that all students leave secondary school prepared to live and work in a data-driven world. The Pre-K-12 GAISE II report presents a set of recommendations for school-level statistical literacy. Overview and Goals of GAISE IIThe Pre-K-12 GAISE I (www.amstat.org/education/gaise) was a seminal and visionary document that championed the necessity of data and statistical literacy starting in the early school grades. It provided a framework of recommendations for developing students' foundational skills in statistical reasoning in three levels across the school years, described as levels A, B, and C. These levels are maintained in GAISE II and are roughly equivalent to elementary, middle, and high school. The progression through the sequential levels in the Pre-K-12 GAISE (both I and II) is intended for any individual who is striving to achieve statistical literacy, regardless of age. GAISE II addresses the evolution of data types and skills needed to make sense of the wealth of data that confronts us. The new updates include:1. The importance of questioning through each stage of the statistical problem-solving process (formulating a statistical investigative question, collecting or considering data, analyzing data, and interpreting results) and how this process remains at the forefront of statistical thinking;2. The consideration of different data and variable types and the importance of carefully designing how primary data are collected or secondary data are considered to answer a statistical investigative question, the process of collecting and cleaning data, the interrogation of data, and the analysis of data;3. The inclusion of multivariate thinking throughout all levels of K-12 education;4. The role of probabilistic thinking in quantifying randomness used by students throughout all school levels;5. The shifts and deepening of the role of technology throughout Pre-K-12 (school level) education;6. The importance of how now, more than ever, statistical information is communicated. GAISE II presents a vision where every individual is confident in reasoning statistically, making sense of data, and knowing how and when to bring a healthy skepticism to information gleaned from data. Presented here is a framework of essential concepts and 22 examples across the three levels of skills development. This framework supports all students as they learn to appreciate the vital role of statistical reasoning and data science and acquire the essential life skill of data literacy.

For courses in introductory statistics. This package includes MyStatLab(TM). The Art and Science of Learning from Data Statistics: The Art and Science of Learning from Data, Fourth Edition, takes a conceptual approach, helping students understand what statistics is about and learning the right questions to ask when analyzing data, rather than just memorizing procedures. This book takes the ideas that have turned statistics into a central science in modern life and makes them accessible, without compromising the necessary rigor. Students will enjoy reading this book, and will stay engaged with its wide variety of real-world data in the examples and exercises. The authors believe that it's important for students to learn and analyze both quantitative and categorical data. As a result, the text pays greater attention to the analysis of proportions than many other introductory statistics texts. Concepts are introduced first with categorical data, and then with quantitative data. This package includes MyStatLab, an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to work with this text to personalize learning and improve results. With a wide range of interactive, engaging, and assignable activities, students are encouraged to actively learn and retain tough course concepts. MyStatLab should only be purchased when required by an instructor. Please be sure you have the correct ISBN and Course ID. Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more information.
