Contains a set of basic, hands-on, exploratory activities that can be completed without the use of technology and in one class period. These activities are designed to be conducted with materials that are easily obtainable (coins, dice, pasta, and so on). This work aims to promote the idea that statistics is, indeed, an experimental science.

The directions for each activity are simple and easy to understand, and most can be completed in one 50-minute class period. The Instructor Resources includes a CD-ROM which includes: data sets for the book's activities rendered in: Fathom, Excel, and Minitab. The CD also includes a limited use version of Fathom Dynamic Statistics - software from Key Curriculum Press to allow instructors to present or demonstrate data from the text within the Fathom environment.
