The objective of this article is to contribute to the documented dearth of research on teachers' probabilistic knowledge. Prospective teachers of elementary school mathematics were asked to identify which result from five flips of a fair coin was least likely to occur. Participants, instead of being presented with sequences, were presented with…

Lee, Hollylynne S.; Doerr, Helen; Ärlebäck, Jonas; Pulis, Tyler – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2013
Our study, situated within graduate-level courses for teachers focused on statistics, illustrates work across institutions for making sense of teachers' statistical thinking. Using a common assessment instrument, we identify and discuss four items that indicate strong statistical thinking and two that highlight concepts with which teachers…

Chernoff, Egan J.; Russell, Gale L. – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2011
The main objective of this article is to contribute to the limited research on teachers' knowledge of probability. In order to meet this objective, we presented prospective mathematics teachers with a variation of a well known task and asked them to determine which of five possible coin flip sequences was least likely to occur. To analyze…
