scootiepie Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 How essential is it to have a good grasp on probability and statistics during middle school math (Prealgebra / MM7). We are still finishing last year's math (!!) but I am debating doing a quick overview rather than spending a lot of time mastering these topics. Just wondering if this would hurt in the long run.

Roadrunner Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 (edited) I think it’s important to cover it at some point, but I don’t think you must do it now. Don’t worry. Just prioritize other topics and you can circle back to those later. I just looked at MM7. I would personally cover Probability over the summer. As far as stats is concerned, I would wait and do a year of stats in high school and no, you don’t need a previous knowledge to do well.

scootiepie Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 Thanks for the input. That is sort what I am going for; exposure and enough to get the gist of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
