| MTH 343 - Foundations of Probability and Statistics for Teachers |
|
Prerequisite: "C" or better in MTH 261 or "C" or better in MTH 320. This course includes the collection, display, analysis, and misuse of data. The course is designed to provide preservice teachers with the content and pedagogical tools to effectively teach statistics in a middle school/high school setting. Topics include graphical representations and measures of analysis of univariate data (e.g., mean, MAD, standard deviation, five-number summary) and bivariate data (e.g., two-way tables, independence, correlation, regression). Counting techniques, including permutations and combinations, and elementary probability will also be covered. An informal introduction to inferential statistics topics (e.g. sampling distributions, confidence intervals, and tests of significance) will also be discussed. Problem-solving and communication skills are continuing themes. This is an activity-based course with extensive use of manipulatives, models, and technology (e.g. GeoGebra and CODAP) that have application within middle/secondary mathematics classrooms. 3(2-2) F,S
