Abstract:
The implicit power of Statistics is that it is a tool of thinking, in particular critical thinking. The paper will clarify how can we teach statistics in order to help students to use the statistical concepts in their cognitive activities according to standards and elements of critical thinking. Some practical, interesting and different examples from secondary school statistics will be given.
