EAST LONGMEADOW PUBLIC SCHOOLS
2006 - 2007 DISTRICT CURRICULUM GUIDES

Mathematics - Probability and Statistics

Mathematics

The Massachusetts Mathematics Curriculum Framework envisions all students in the Commonwealth achieving mathematical competence through a strong mathematics program that emphasizes problem solving, communicating, reasoning and proof, making connections, and using representations. Acquiring such competence depends in large part on a clear, comprehensive, coherent, and developmentally appropriate set of standards to guide curriculum expectations.


Probability/Statistics

    Statistical Experiments
The learner will be able to study a problem, establish the information needed to solve the problem, devise an experiment, carry it out, collect the data, draw conclusions based on the data, and communicate the results to others.
