Teaching Statistics Investigations Chapter 2-Students\u2019 Reasoning About Comparing Distributions<\/h2><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Teachers engage in a task to compare graduation rates among a sample of private and public colleges in NC, and anticipate how middle school students might think about the problem with the software. Teachers then view a video case of teachers and students working with TinkerPlots on the task, and analyze students\u2019 work and interactions with the software. The purpose of this extensive case is to have teachers critically examine the ways students use features of a technology tool to examine data and then consider implications for teaching specific to this case, as well as general ideas for engaging students in multi-variate data sets with dynamic graphing tools.<\/p>\n<\/div>
