About lab activities

These activities were originally developed in 2001 at the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics (NCSSM) Statistics Institute.

Twenty-seven teachers met to create a variety of materials for teaching statistical concepts. Lee Kucera, Jeane Swaynos, and Susan Peters developed this series of JMP-based activities and teacher resources, with Roxy Peck providing technical guidance.

Due to popular demand, materials have been updated.
