Abstract: 

In recent years, three key documents have been influential in focusing attention on statistics and data analysis in the Pre-K-12 mathematics curriculum in the United States. We examine how these three documents come together with a collective potential to shape the future direction of Pre-K-12 statistics education, and we describe the specific contributions made by the document Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education (GAISE) Report: A Pre-K-12 Curriculum Framework.
