Kim C Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 We are in search of a statistics curriculum or online course. Ds just wants to learn statistics, but he is not interested in taking the AP exam. Anyone have a curriculum or online course to recommend?

Momto6inIN Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Maybe from the local community college? That's what my DS is doing this semester. He's doing it on campus, but I'm pretty sure they frequently offer it online too. Sent from my Z988 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistachio mom Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) I am also looking for one for next year. have you looked at the Math with Fred one? It is supposed to be for college level. I want a one semester introduction to statistics. I also want to check the great courses. Thinkwell does not have it either. CTC math does not have it; I looked a few days ago. Edited October 21, 2017 by Pistachio mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3andme Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) I have some suggestions from my research for AP Stats. There are loads of courses out there but I found these to be some of the most accessible for a high school student. I think these should work even if you don't want to take the AP exam. These are all free or very inexpensive($10). Udacity has two free courses Intro to Descriptive Statistics and Introduction to Inferential Statistics. These were once used by San Jose State for their intro. stat course. Personally, I'm not crazy about the way they split up the videos into tiny mini-clips but the content is good and it comes with quizzes.On Udemy, there is a very good course called Ace the AP Statistics and Master Elementary Statistics. It consists of many 10-15 minute lectures. It's only $10 if you use the coupon here.On youtube, Profrobbob has videos for most math classes including AP Statistics.On edx, I Heart Stats: Learning to Love Statistics. This is an archived class but you should be able to still access the videos etc. Edited October 21, 2017 by 3andme 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 You can use the Statistics modules in MEP math which is for high school. http://www.cimt.org.uk/projects/mepres/alevel/alevel.htm There is also the open source textbook free to use https://www.openintro.org/download.php?file=ahss1_tablet&referrer=/stat/textbook.php 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistachio mom Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 A few months ago, someone recommended this book to go with statistics: https://www.amazon.com/How-Lie-Statistics-Darrell-Huff/dp/0393310728 This is a Great courses DVD I am also looking at: https://www.thegreatcourses.com/courses/meaning-from-data-statistics-made-clear.html 3andme, Thanks for sharing the list of links.

MomsintheGarden Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 For a lighter option, you may want to try the Khan Academy High School Statistics mission. It has all of the stats & probability necessary for the PSAT/SAT and can be done in a couple of months. KA also has AP Stats. All KA courses are free. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) In addition to those suggested above, Carnegie Mellon University has a Probability and Statistics course through their online Open Learning Initiative. ALEKS also has an intro statistics course. eta: If you google it, you can usually find a discount coupon for the first month's subscription to ALEKS.

Mom22ns Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 On youtube, Profrobbob has videos for most math classes including AP Statistics. Professor RobBob was how ds I and learned when he took AP stats through PA homeschoolers. The video lessons were much more helpful than the typed lessons provided by the teacher. Pairing his lessons with a book (you could ask him what he uses so you'd get the order the same) would give you a good introduction without any exam prep jammed in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3andme Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Profrobbob says on his website he uses AP Statistics: The Practice of Statistics by Yates, Moore and Starnes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
