Welcome to Statistics and Probability bit by bit.
This is Part 1 of the 6 part series. Each part runs for 4-5 weeks and addresses a specific coherent set of topics in statistics and probability.
Part 1 (i.e. this class) introduces students to Statistics in 4 weeks. Below is the class description.
I have divided the class content among the 5 parts, each covering part of Statistics and Probability. By the time students have completed the six classes, students will have covered a lot of ground that spans elementary, middle, high school as well as college level statistics and probability requirements.
Each bit (mini course) ranges between 4 weeks to 5 weeks in length and builds on the bits that came before it.
Practice and experimentation and some homework are expected.
The class is suitable for middle, and high school students.
Teaching each topic listed in the syllabus goes through these 3 steps (What to expect each week)
- Day 1: Explain a major topic from the syllabus side by side with helper examples to help demonstrate the concepts.
- Day 2: Summarize prior day topic and show types of questions and approach/steps for solving them + in class practice.
- Day 3: In Class Competition (Jeopardy style) + Prizes to winners.
Competition performance counts as that of a quiz with grades being assigned to students according to their scores.
