To determine the nature and extent of the statistics content that Nepali students may learn in school, we examined mathematics textbooks for grades 4-10 from five different publishers. All of the tasks in each statistics chapter were examined, for a total of 1755 tasks across 35 textbooks. Each task was classified according to the phases of the statistical problem-solving process (formulate questions, collect data, analyse data, interpret results) that were addressed. Nearly every task required students to analyse data; the other phases were rarely addressed. Additionally, tasks addressing the analysis phase were coded according to analysis activities; the majority of these tasks required students to read a display and perform a mathematical calculation. For each series, at least two-thirds of the statistics tasks followed a similar worked example. Based on these findings, we offer recommendations for teachers, text book writers, and the Curriculum Development Centre.
