MAT 1160: Data & Chance

This textbook supports a semester‑long statistics and probability course for future elementary and middle school teachers. It includes ideas from general education statistics but doesn't emphasize inferential statistics. It focuses on concepts essential for teaching math in the lower grades and covers topics beyond the primary curriculum, including interpreting assessment measures, understanding statistics used in professional practice, and developing informed perspectives about data and chance.
