Inspired by Statistics?

This article considers being inspired by statistics as<br>both a learner and a teacher. It looks particularly<br>at a task involving research of Minard's Map, a<br>statistical representation, to create and present a<br>statistical task for a learner. It describes how the<br>use of imagery, and the enthusiasm that developed<br>as the map and its context were explored by the<br>teacher, were passed on to the learner.
