Common patterns of thought and statistics: Accessing variability through the typical
Overview & Synopsis
Allowing students to construct meanings of statistical concepts like variability requires building on their individual experiences. The notion of patterns of thought is utilized to conceptualize the difference between formal statistics and learners' initial thinking and to describe a pathway to bridge this gap between individual and mathematical thinking. Students' patterns of thought and the processes of their conventionalization are reconstructed in a qualitative study with n = 10 students of grade 7. An outlook is given on the possibility of connecting students' patterns of thought with formal statistics.
