Allan Rossman's 4th Edition of Workshop Statistics: Discovery with Data, is enhanced from previousissues with more focus and emphasis on collaborative learning.It further requires student observation, and integrates technologyfor gathering, recording, and synthesizing data. The textoffers more flexibility in selecting technology tools forclassrooms primarily using technologies other than graphingcalculators or FathomTM DynamicData software. Furthermore, it presents more standards forteaching statistics in an innovative, investigative, and accessibleas well as provides in-depth guidance and resources to supportactive learning of statistics and includes updated real data sets with everyday applications in order to promote statistical literacy.
