Statistics in math camps

It is generally agreed that statistics is an important discipline to be introduced at school level. However, only small components of the subject and a narrow scope are introduced at primary and secondary school level curriculum in Kenya. This paper discusses the emerging prominence of statistics sessions at Math Camps in Africa. It shows how maths camp student participants have developed the knowledge and skills to support further learning of important statistical concepts. This has involved hands on sessions where students interact with real data sets.
