Research article in digital collection (conference) | Peer reviewedAbstract
Statistical thinking has become the central goal of statistics education in recent years and has made its way into the primary curriculum. The main educational goal is to guide students from a rather local towards a more global perspective on data and distributions. Because technological tools and software such as TinkerPlots are considered to be valuable support towards developing statistical thinking, this paper will explore differences in primary students ́ descriptions of distributions as part of their statistical thinking with and without the help of TinkerPlots to illustrate possible potentials and challenges for the use of technological tools within the primary classroom.
