This book provides a detailed introduction to statistics. It is easy to follow and understand, providing an active learning approach whilst simultaneously promoting pedagogy with knowledge and skills enhancement in statistics.
This text although intended for primary practitioners and students, it is more suited to students and trainees in KS3 and beyond. Its contents although partly relevant to the primary phase, the bulk of the book caters for secondary maths teachers and students of general maths education. The four chapters making reference to the use of ICT were very interesting and informative. I would recommend this text as supplemental reading for anyone interested in primary ITT maths courses.
Alan Graham's book is an excellent reader for student teachers and serving teachers about developing pupils' thinking about statistics. It is a well structured book with lots of useful ideas and a commentary at the back of the book about the activities. My only slight disquiet is that on every page headed 'Introduction to block ...' the print register of the explanatory text is very, very faint?
