Overview
Statistics has developed in parallel with the advances of technological and social change. Informed by the work of the Cambridge Mathematics team, this book outlines a new pedagogical approach to teaching statistics.

The book provides numerous examples and suggestions that teachers can incorporate in the classroom to help improve the way students understand statistics.
