Promoting Statistical Thinking in Schools with Road Injury Data
Woltman, Marie
Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, v39 n1 p26-29 Spr 2017
Road injury is an immediately relevant topic for 9-19 year olds. Current availability of Open Data makes it increasingly possible to find locally relevant data. Statistical lessons developed from these data can mutually reinforce life lessons about minimizing risk on the road. Devon County Council demonstrate how a wide array of statistical thinking can be developed in this context.
