Key Definitions and Results in Introductory Statistics by S L C Saw
This is a compilation of what, in my view, are the most important definitions and results that beginning students in Statistics should know. The topics covered include very basic conceptual issues and results in a classical (parametric) approach to the subject. Good understanding of the ideas and ability to apply the results will serve you well in your introductory course as well as when you further your studies in Statistics.

You probably shouldn't read this material until you've got some Statistics under your belt, so to speak. There are some valuable lessons to learn in this online article and in the accompanying references on how not to misuse statistics and how to recognise such questionable practices. Your exposure to the subject would not be complete without some familiarity with the issues discussed here.

This is a good compilation of the best and worst examples of statistical graphics by an expert in the field. However, you might find that the presentation includes material which goes beyond the level of a novice in the subject.
