The GAISE document provides a two-dimensional framework,[11] specifying four components used in statistical problem solving (formulating questions, collecting data, analyzing data, and interpreting results) and three levels of conceptual understanding through which a student should progress (Levels A, B, and C).[12] A direct parallel between these conceptual levels and grade levels is not made because most students would begin at Level A when they are first exposed to statistics regardless of whether they are in primary, middle, or secondary school.[1][3] A student's level of statistical maturity is based on experience rather than age.[2][3]
The GAISE College Report
