Lesson
plans using statistics and the Internet With all the
data currently on the Internet, the Office for Mathematics,
Science and Technology Education felt it would be beneficial to
have lesson resources for teachers who would like to involve
statistics and the Internet in their classroom. Some of the
lessons have the students collecting data one day and then
collecting data from the same place the next day and analyzing
them. With the Internet we are using data that is not out-of-date
or unimportant.
