I'd argue that very little - or even no - math is required to teach the concepts. The ideas of standard deviation and confidence intervals can be taught visually, for instance. You needn't be able to calculate them to understand what they mean when they're presented. The extent of my statistics education in high school was "mean, median, mode". That was it, and I exhausted every math course that was offered at my school by the time I entered 11th grade.
