Bridging the Gap Between Standards and the Classroom
Teaching Data Analysis, Probability, and Statistics: A Conference for Pre-K–12
Mathematics Educators
Friday, June 20, 2008
9:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.
The Lawrenceville School
Lawrenceville, New Jersey
The American Statistical Association/National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Joint
Committee on Curriculum in Probability and Statistics is sponsoring a one-day conference for pre-K–12
mathematics educators interested in bridging the gap between national standards and classroom practice
in data analysis, probability, and statistics. A major goal of the conference will be to introduce partici-
pants to the ASA’s Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education (GAISE): A Pre-K–12
Curriculum Framework, which was developed to support and elaborate on the Data Analysis and Prob-
ability content strand in NCTM’s Principles and Standards for School Mathematics. Conference present-
ers include authors of the GAISE document and members of the ASA/NCTM Joint Committee.
COST: $50, which includes conference registration, notebook with handouts, a copy of the GAISE
document, continental breakfast, morning snack break, and lunch
FORMAT: The conference will open with a general overview of the curriculum framework and its con-
nection to the NCTM Standards and the College Board Standards for College Success in Mathematics
and Statistics. Following the opening session, participants will attend breakout sessions by grade band:
pre-K–4, 5–8, and 9–12. In these interactive sessions, presenters will share instructional activities that
support the teaching of data analysis, probability, and statistics in the mathematics classroom. During
the lunch break, teachers will have an opportunity to network with colleagues and the presenters.
LOCATION: The Lawrenceville School, 2500 Main St., Lawrenceville, NJ 08648 (800) 735-2030
