These links are to pages that were developed for students in the BHS Conceptual Statistics project as they participated in instruction. Students used them in the context of ongoing instruction, classroom discussions, readings from textbooks, and (on occasion) with activities with Data Description's ActivStats CD. As such, the connections among assignments or activities may not always be evident to persons not involved in instruction. (NB: This is not to claim that connections among assignments or activities were evident to persons who were involved in instruction!)
