Abstract
There are various methods of imparting knowledge to students in a way they will quickly understand what is being passed across to them. Such methods include the introduction of teaching aids like film shows, related materials to the lesson and so on. It is very rare to use storytelling method in teaching statistics. This research work, therefore, aims at using the story of a man, his son, and donkey to introduce students in Urban and Regional Planning and Teacher Education departments to some basic terms in statistics. The methodology employed in this paper is using every event and comment passed to explain some statistical terms (content analysis). Findings revealed that a large number of students in the pure science and engineering departments find it difficult to understand some basic terms in statistics as it reflects in their final project writing and results in statistics courses. This could be majorly attached to the ways they were taught. It was recommended that these basic statistical terms should be taught using every possible means to enable students to understand them and be able to apply them in their project and other reports writing.
