Abstract :
This paper proposes using air temperature data in education to develop statistical intuition. First, reservations about mathematical-statistical methods are presented. Then, educational strategy to develop statistical intuition employing air temperature data is proposed as a way to dispel those reservations. And finally, examples of programs using air temperature data are presented and examined.
