This paper presents a case study of students (age 14-15) as they attempt to make sense of distribution, adopting a range of causal meanings for the variation observed in the animated computer display and in the graphs generated by a "BasketBall" simulation. The student activity is analysed through dimensions of complex causality. The…

Prodromou, Theodosia; Pratt, Dave – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2006
Our primary goal is to design a micro world which aspires to research thinking-in-change about distribution. Our premise, in line with a constructivist approach and our prior research, is that thinking about distribution must develop from causal meanings already established. This study reports on a design research study of how students appear to…
