Statistics for every student.

With the power of SaplingPlus online learning behind it, this engaging and modern introduction to statistics helps prepare students for success in this course and in life.  Structured into bite-sized lessons with many integrated activities to get students “doing statistics” from the start, this program helps students understand the “why” and “how” of statistics.  The robust resource program, including student and teacher e-books with resources integrated at point-of-use and online homework with thorough guided feedback makes this the ideal homework for in person or a virtual learning environment.

Features

Hundreds of worked examples with step-by-step solutions that feature the “voice of the teacher” through the “teacher talk” boxes.  Each Example points to an exercise to practice the concepts.  The exercises guide students directly to the supporting example for help when they need it.  If they need more help, they can click on the Exercise video that features an experienced High School Statistics teacher walking step-by-step through the solution to the exercise.

Lesson Apps wrap up the learning targets in each example and provide a great review and self-check for students.

Easy to use Statistical Applets allow students to do simulations and work with data from their computer, table, phone, or an connected device.

Tech Corners provide keystroke level instruction for using Applets and/or the TI-83/84+ graphing calculator.

STATS applied!  Real world problems begin and end each chapter to underscore why understanding statistics is important.

SaplingPlus
e+book and media resources + Sapling online homework

SaplingPlus combines the unparalleled assets of Sapling Learning’s online homework (homework with targeted feedback, superior support for students and instructors) with an e-book and powerful book-specific assets.

New to This Edition

There are now 11 chapters that are more similar in length – with 6-8 lessons in each chapter.

Introduce Normal distributions as models for data earlier in the book, to match modern practice.

  • Add a new Chapter 2 “Modeling One-Variable Quantitative Data” that focuses on measuring location in a distribution (percentiles, z-scores) and on using Normal distributions to model certain sets of quantitative data. This approach matches the structure of AP texts and most college titles and will feel more familiar to teachers who teach both courses. This move also allows for shortening Chapter 1 (which was 9 lessons in SPA 3e), having Normal distributions available when discussing inference for sampling and inference for experiments in Chapter 3 on Collecting Data, and giving students additional practice and familiarity with the most important distribution in an introductory statistics course.


Overhauled Sapling Plus online Homework

  • All “suggested assignment” questions from the text with detailed guided feedback to help students learn even when they get the answer wrong  are ready to use in Sapling Plus
  • Hundreds of additional questions coded by lesson in many different formats – sorting, numerical entry, drop-down menu choice options,  open answer - -including many with algorithmic data.
  • Improved tutorial help for using the program included in the resource options

Increase students’ focus on solidifying essential knowledge as a precursor to mastering concepts and skills. 

  • We have added a new set of exercises at the beginning of each Lesson exercise set called:  Building Concepts and Skills.  The addition of these 5-7 definition based exercises help the lesson exercises ramp up more effectively from Building Concepts and Skills to Mastering Concepts and Skills to Applying the Concepts to Extending the Concepts, and finally to Recycle and Review, which integrate skills and concepts from previous lessons.

Expand and refine the video program to support students and teachers more effectively

  • NEW Lesson App Videos for all 71 Lessons replace the individual Worked Example Videos.  Short video lessons, based on the Lesson App in each lesson, review and offer instruction on the key skills and concepts in each lesson by teaching the Lesson App.  Prepared by SPA4 TE author, Doug Tyson, and SPA4 Solutions/Assessment/Sapling author, Erica Chauvet, you can be confident in assigning these lessons to students who miss class, are struggling, or just need help bringing the ideas together.  They will also provide excellent support for virtual instruction.
  • NEW Worked Exercise Videos – each “For Practice, Try” exercise is now available as an instructional video for students.  Prepared by a team of experienced high school Stat teachers.
  • Additional Video support includes:
    PD Videos (for teachers):
     - Chapter Overviews (by Daren, Josh, Luke)
     - Lesson Overviews (by Daren, Josh, Luke)
     - Getting to know the TE (by Doug Tyson)
     - Comprehensive Course Tour
    For Students (and teachers)
     - Lesson App Videos
     - Worked Exercise Videos (“For Practice, Try” paired exercises)
     - Chapter Review Exercises
  • NEW comprehensive set of Lecture Presentation Slides for each Lesson will support teachers more thoroughly in preparing virtual lessons, as needed, and in helping student absences, substitute teachers, etc.
  • Many new Examples and exercises with updated, timely, high-interest data.
