Statistics Teachers’ Day takes place at Auckland University, where stats education researchers, PhD students, and practising statisticians share what they are discovering in data. Teachers also share their classroom practice and resource development, modelling excellent teaching and learning with and about data on the day.

Students can explore and ask investigative questions about stickland people.

The data cards are virtual within the stickland environment.  For a physical copy of the stickland data cards click here.

Participants used familiar statistics tools and approaches, such as data cards, collaborative group tasks and sampling activities, and also try out some new computational tools for learning from data. Statistical concepts covered include features of data distributions and informal inference.

Anna and Liza considered some guiding principles for creating data sets for different types of statistical investigations and explored methods for getting modern data, including working with APIs, querying databases, using geocoding, getting data from sensors and creating data sets from online information.

Anna demonstrated how to build models with images and explore them in more detail. She looked at ways you can
start incorporating data science (and digital technologies) within your teaching of the current statistics curriculum. How are photos of cats different from photos of dogs? Is Google to blame for student’s lack of care about squares? Anna guided teachers to find answers to these questions using modelling tasks she designed.

“Using data cards in the teaching of statistics can be a powerful way to build students’ statistical reasoning. Important understandings related to working with multivariate data, posing statistical questions, recognizing sampling variation and thinking about models can be developed. The use of real-life data cards involves hands-on and visual-based activities.”

Anna’s work using physical data cards and digital technology supports pedagogy required to effectively teach statistical reasoning. This talk presented material from the  for Mathematics and Science teachers held at JSM Chicago (2016) which can be used in classrooms to support teaching statistical thinking and reasoning. Key teaching and learning ideas that underpin the activities were also discussed.
