An active inquiry approach to Statistics and Probability using practical activities and investigations. Statistics and Probability for the Australian Curriculum supports an active inquiry approach to developing statistical thinking, an increasingly important skill throughout industry, government and education. Real statistical data investigations guide students from first thoughts, through planning, collecting and exploring data, to reporting. Written explicitly for the Australian Curriculum, the two-book series supports in-depth study of statistics and probability and helps students of all abilities to draw conclusions and relate learning to every day contexts. The knowledge and skills developed in this series will build a solid foundation for understanding the processes of modelling probabilities, which lie at the heart of statistical inference. Teacher Resources are available through Cambridge GO (registered teachers only) and include Teacher notes on the textbook with advice on teaching, extra explanation for teachers, and suggestions of further work and a curriculum grid. This is a digital only, PDF Textbook version of the Print textbook. (See components tab for more information) 
Offline Textbook
The downloadable offline version of the student text enables students to take notes, highlight key passages, and bookmark pages. It is available from Cambridge GO using the unique 16-character code that is included with the purchase of the Print Textbook and the Interactive Textbook.
