Gardner, Kimberly – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2013
Statistics is an integral part of the K-12 mathematics curriculum (age 5-18). Naturally, students construct misconceptions of what they learn. This article discusses The Bop It[C]Challenge, a review activity assesses student understanding and reveals their misunderstandings of statistical concepts. (Contains 3 figures and 1 table.)

Paramore, John – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2011
Many primary school teachers will have not heard of the data-handling cycle as set out in the English Key Stage 3 (UK ages 11-14) curriculum. This article argues that with a little adjustment, it could become the defining model for a holistic and dialogical approach to data handling at Key Stage 2 (UK ages 7-11).

Lu, Yonggang; Henning, Kevin S. S. – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2013
Spurred by recent writings regarding statistical pragmatism, we propose a simple, practical approach to introducing students to a new style of statistical thinking that models nature through the lens of data-generating processes, not populations. (Contains 5 figures.)

Gardner, Robert; Davidson, Robert – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2010
The use of The Three Stooges' films as a source of data in an introductory statistics class is described. The Stooges' films are separated into three populations. Using these populations, students may conduct hypothesis tests with data they collect.
Descriptors: Hypothesis Testing, Statistics, Films, Data Collection
Froelich, Amy G.; Stephenson, W. Robert – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2013
This article presents activities appropriate for the first half of a general introductory statistics course. All activities revolve around the same data set collected early in the course. The activities require students to make decisions about how they should proceed. (Contains 2 tables and 5 figures.)

Richardson, Mary; Reischman, Diann – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2011
This article describes an interactive activity that involves students participating in a memory recall test. Data collected from the activity may be used to illustrate the one-sample t test or one-sample sign test. (Contains 1 table and 1 figure.)
Descriptors: Memory, Recall (Psychology), Data Collection, College Mathematics
McGowan, Herle M.; Vaughan, Joel – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2012
We describe an activity that allows students to experience the full process of a statistical investigation, from generating the research question, to collecting data and testing a hypothesis. Implementation of the activity is described both with and without use of clickers, handheld remotes that allow instant data collection.
Descriptors: Hypothesis Testing, Data Collection, Educational Technology, Computer Assisted Instruction
