Maher, Nicole; Muir, Tracey; Chick, Helen – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2022
The multi-faceted nature of mathematics knowledge for teaching, including pedagogical content knowledge (PCK), has been studied widely in elementary classrooms, but little research has focused on senior secondary mathematics teaching. This study utilised the Knowledge Quartet (Rowland et al., "Research in Mathematics Education," 17(2),…

Stine Gerster Johansen – Digital Experiences in Mathematics Education, 2024
This article presents a case study that explores digital experiences in statistics teaching within Danish lower secondary school, focusing on the development of students' statistical concepts. The study tracks the progress of a student named Frida, who engages with the digital tool TinkerPlots over the span of a year. Frida developed a unique…

Dunn, Peter K.; Marshman, Margaret – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2021
This is the fourth in a series of statistical articles for mathematics teachers. In this article, the authors discuss topics in General Mathematics in Unit 2 Topic 1 (Univariate data analysis and the statistical investigation process) and topics in Essential Mathematics, Unit 2 Topic 1 (Representing and comparing data).

Mohammad, Nagham; McGivern, Lucinda – Online Submission, 2020
In regression analysis courses, there are many settings in which the response variable under study is continuous, strictly positive, and right skew. This type of response variable does not adhere to the normality assumptions underlying the traditional linear regression model, and accordingly may be analyzed using a generalized linear model…

van Dijke-Droogers, Marianne; Drijvers, Paul; Bakker, Arthur – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2020
While various studies suggest that informal statistical inference (ISI) can be developed by young students, more research is needed to translate this claim into a well-founded learning trajectory (LT). As a contribution, this paper presents the results of a cycle of design research that focuses on the design, implementation, and evaluation of the…

Setyani, Geovani Debby; Kristanto, Yosep Dwi – Online Submission, 2020
Drawing inference from data is an important skill for students to understand their everyday life, so that the sampling distribution as a central topic in statistical inference is necessary to be learned by the students. However, little is known about how to teach the topic for high school students, especially in Indonesian context. Therefore, the…

Budgett, Stephanie; Pfannkuch, Maxine – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2018
Randomness and distribution are important concepts underpinning the ability to think and reason probabilistically. Traditional approaches to teaching the Poisson distribution focus on mathematical definitions and formulae which obscure the randomness intrinsic in this process. Advances in technology have made it possible for students learning…
