Adopt Real World Statistics
A complete instructional system for high school statistics, designed to make rigorous mathematics understandable, engaging, and accessible to a wide range of learners.
Our school recently adopted this book for our Statistics course, and as department head I can say it’s been a fantastic addition. Real World Statistics stands out because of its seamless integration of videos and the online toolkit. The videos make abstract ideas easy to grasp, and the toolkit gives students the chance to explore, practice, and test their understanding in interactive ways.

Read our testimonialsCurriculum Overview & Scope and Sequence
A complete statistics curriculum for high school, dual-enrollment, and introductory college statistics. Ten chapters move students from foundational data literacy through probability, sampling distributions, and inference — building understanding progressively across the year.
Instructional Philosophy & Model
RWS is built around accessible rigor — the belief that accessibility and rigor should work together, not compete. Concept comes before computation, and data before formulas, giving students meaningful context before introducing formal methods.
Curriculum Alignment
RWS was developed independently of AP Statistics, but substantial overlap exists. Our alignment resources identify those areas and show where AP-style practice appears throughout the curriculum. The course also connects with the Common Core Standards for Mathematical Practice.
Sample Materials
Administrators and teachers can preview sample chapters, enrichment investigations, guided practice, assessments, and teacher resources before making an adoption decision. These materials provide an opportunity to experience the instructional approach and evaluate the curriculum's fit for your course and students.
What's Included?
Real World Statistics is available in three adoption models designed to fit different school contexts and needs.
Curriculum
The complete Real World Statistics course curriculum — student and teacher eBooks, the Worked Solutions Manual, and a school-wide lifetime license to the Teacher Toolkit.
AI-Supported
Everything in Curriculum, plus Pat (Pathway Tutor) and Tara (Teaching and Resource Assistant): on-demand AI tutoring for students and AI-powered planning and instructional support for teachers.
Connected Learning
Everything in AI-Supported, plus personalized learning checks that identify what each student understands and where they need support, connecting that evidence directly to teacher planning tools for targeted instruction, practice, and follow-up.

More Support for Students. Less Prep for Teachers.
The AI-Supported and Connected Learning tiers include three AI tools built specifically for Real World Statistics — one for students, one for teachers, and one that connects them.
Pat
Student Tutor
AI-Supported & Connected LearningPat is an on-demand AI tutor available to students directly inside the eBook. When a student gets stuck — on a concept, a problem, or a vocabulary term — they can ask Pat without leaving the page. Pat doesn't just give answers: it asks questions, offers hints, and guides students toward understanding. Because Pat is built around the RWS curriculum, its responses stay grounded in the course — students aren't getting generic internet explanations, they're getting support that fits what they're actually learning.
Available anytime, inside the book, without leaving the lesson.
Tara
Teacher Planning Assistant
AI-Supported & Connected LearningTara is an AI planning assistant for teachers. Given a lesson section, Tara generates a structured instructional plan — including warm-up ideas, teaching notes, differentiation suggestions, enrichment options, and formative check ideas — drawing from the verified RWS resource library. Teachers can use Tara's output as a starting point, adapt it, or print it. Tara doesn't replace teacher judgment; it reduces the time it takes to go from "I need to plan this lesson" to a usable first draft.
Structured lesson plans grounded in RWS resources — in seconds.
Pat Learning Check
Diagnostic & Evidence Loop
Connected Learning onlyPat Learning Check is a short diagnostic tool that teachers assign to students after a lesson or unit. Students answer a targeted set of questions through Pat; Pat generates a student-facing summary of their results and a teacher-facing evidence report. That evidence — which students understood, which struggled, and where — feeds directly into Tara. With one click, a teacher can ask Tara to build a differentiated follow-up plan based on what the class actually showed. The result is a closed instructional loop: teach, check, see the evidence, plan the next step.
Diagnostic evidence flows directly into Tara's planning — no manual translation.
How the Connected Learning loop works
Connected Learning tier
Teach
Deliver the lesson using RWS curriculum and Teacher Toolkit materials.
Assign a Learning Check
Assign a Pat Learning Check for the topic. Students complete it on their own time through Pat.
Review the evidence
Pat generates a class-level evidence report — which targets students met, which need more support, and a breakdown by student.
Plan with Tara
With one click, send the evidence to Tara. Tara builds a differentiated follow-up plan based on what the class actually showed.
Teach again — with a plan
Return to the class with a targeted plan: who needs reteaching, who's ready to extend, and what to do with each group.
Teacher Toolkit
Everything teachers need to implement RWS with confidence.
The Teacher Toolkit includes instructional slides, guided notes, pacing guides, assessments, dataset investigations, and enrichment resources — everything needed to implement the curriculum without building materials from scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions
About the Publisher
Simpler Math was created around a simple idea: making mathematics more accessible should never mean making it less rigorous. We develop curriculum and learning resources that help students understand challenging mathematics, build strong foundations, and experience the satisfaction of mastering ideas that may otherwise seem out of reach.
