Probability and Data Reasoning

Probability and Data Reasoning bridges middle and high school statistics for grades 7-9: formal probability rules, two-way tables, distribution shape and center, simulation, and a deep look at sampling and bias. Students finish by building a full evidence-based data argument, from question to presented findings.

Follow the ideas as they grow

8 units, in the order they build on each other. Each unit's question is the thing it exists to answer.

  1. The Statistical Investigation Cycle

    What does it take to turn a curiosity into a trustworthy conclusion?

    6 lessons · 108 min

  2. Variables and Data Types

    How does the type of a variable determine what you can honestly say about it?

    6 lessons · 108 min

  3. Distribution Shape and Center

    How can you formally justify a claim about a distribution's shape and center, instead of just eyeballing it?

  4. Two-Way Tables

    How can one table reveal whether two categorical variables are actually related?

    6 lessons · 108 min

  5. Probability Rules

    How do you compute the probability of combined or conditional events using precise rules instead of intuition?

    7 lessons · 126 min

  6. Simulation

    How do you design a simulation that actually models a real chance situation correctly?

    6 lessons · 108 min

  7. Sampling and Bias

    Which formal sampling method fits a given real-world situation, and what specific bias risk remains even with real randomization?

  8. Data Argument Project

    What does it take to turn a real question into a data-backed argument you can defend and honestly limit?
