Best Practices in Mathematics Education Statistics Modules

From APEC HRDWG Wiki

Mathematics education is of vital importance in preparing today's students for the challenges and requirements of the 21st Century workforce. APEC has taken an interest in developing mathematics education effectiveness, and has developed modules to bring new ideas for teaching statistics and data analysis concepts into the classroom.

The following modules were developed by the APEC Technical Assistance and Training Facility (TATF) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), under the 21st Century Mathematics Education for All in the APEC Region project, with the support of the U.S. Department of Education.
