Navigating through Data Analysis and Probability in Prekindergarten--Grade 2

---

"An understanding of data analysis and probability is essential to the mathematics education of informed citizens. Evaluating claims that are based on data and arriving at conclusions in the face of uncertainty have become basic skills in the information age.

This book discusses the early development of data and probability concepts and shows teachers how to introduce some foundational ideas to young students. It guides teachers in helping these students discover the usefulness of bar graphs, tallies, frequency tables, and Venn diagrams to answer questions and make simple predictions about their everyday world. A series of activities that engage students directly in collecting, organizing, and displaying data also enable them to explore and extend their understanding of basic ideas. The book supplies margin notes with teaching tips, anticipated questions and responses from students, examples of students' work, and suggestions for modifying activities for students who experience difficulty or need enrichment."
