Statistical methods are foundational to research in mathematics education, enabling researchers to analyse data rigorously, generalise findings, and make evidence-based recommendations. This paper explores the theoretical underpinnings of statistics in educational research, core statistical tools, applications in teaching–learning studies, and emerging trends such as learning analytics and Bayesian approaches. We argue that statistical literacy among mathematics educators enriches both research quality and instructional practice.
