Instructional Ideas

• Provide the class with situations like those described in the resource and have a discussion about inferences
• Divide the class into groups and have each group investigate assumptions and conditions for a different area of mathematics
  

Classroom Considerations

• While the primary audience is for instructors of AP® Statistics, other math teachers may find the resource useful

Pros

• Detailed and informative
  
• A table of contents with links makes it easy to navigate the web page
