Saskia Schreiter; Markus Vogel – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2025
The ability to interpret and compare data distributions is an important educational goal. Inherent in the statistical concept of distribution is the need to focus not only on individual data points or small groups of data points (so-called local view), but to perceive a distribution as a whole, allowing to recognize global features such as center,…

Oslington, Gabrielle; Mulligan, Joanne; Van Bergen, Penny – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2020
This paper describes elementary students' awareness and representation of the aggregate properties and variability of data sets when engaged in predictive reasoning. In a design study, 46 third-graders interpreted a table of historical temperature data to predict and represent future monthly maximum temperatures. The task enabled students to…

Frejd, Peter; Bergsten, Christer – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2016
Educational research literature on mathematical modelling is extensive. However, not much attention has been paid to empirical investigations of its scholarly knowledge from the perspective of didactic transposition processes. This paper reports from an interview study of mathematical modelling activities involving nine professional model…

Miyazaki, Mikio; Fujita, Taro; Jones, Keith – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2017
While proof is central to mathematics, difficulties in the teaching and learning of proof are well-recognised internationally. Within the research literature, a number of theoretical frameworks relating to the teaching of different aspects of proof and proving are evident. In our work, we are focusing on secondary school students learning the…
