Abstract	The reality is that textbooks and state standards have more content than can reasonably be covered for proficiency in most classrooms. In years past, this typically meant cutting the last unit or two or moving along regardless of who was keeping up, in many cases resulting in cutting statistics from the curriculum. This article provides five reasons statistics should be featured in mathematics curriculum: (1) Students need relevant curriculum; (2) They will not "lose out" on mathematics; (3) Teachers can combine algebra and statistics through modeling; (4) Students can experience real-world murkiness; and (5) Statistics is invaluable to teaching for social justice. The author also includes a project to feature statistics from her own instruction, further detailed in the supplemental material (link online). (ERIC).
