Abstract: 

In this paper I will deal with exploratory data analysis, EDA, and will consider EDA to be taught as part of school statistics. Although I think it is important to teach EDA at the school level, I also find it important to teach areas within confirmatory data analysis or statistical inference as well as probability and randomness, but this will not be discussed here. I will first briefly address the issue of who should teach data analysis. Then I will give examples of areas within EDA that are useful to introduce to the mathematics teachers at the upper secondary level.
