Abstract:
I will describe here the plans of the American Association for the Advancement of Science to incorporate basic ideas of statistics into K-12 curricula that more or less integrate science, technology, and mathematics. Rather than adding simply statistics topics to the curriculum, the curriculum design involves a mapping of ideas in these fields as they interconnect and increase in sophistication.
