  • The Common Core State Standards require students in grades 6–12 to describe and interpret data, make inferences, and use probability to draw conclusions. Learn to introduce these ideas with a bag of M&M's. Whether you teach AP Statistics or incorporate the Common Core in a non-AP course, you can teach statistics with chocolate.
