Episode description

Today, I talk with Jim Frost, best-selling Statistics author and the wildly popular blogger at statisticsbyjim.com, about how to make Statistics engaging, exciting, and more relatable for students.

We discuss:

  • How statistics research differs from how math is taught in the classroom 
  • The importance of teaching why students need statistics and why specific rules apply 
  • The chaotic nature of making sense of data in real life 
  • The benefits of teaching Statistics without an emphasis on equations 
  • How Jim's book and blog can help teachers inspire their students to love math
