Abstract
The Reforming Mathematical Futures II Project (RMIT and AAMT) is building a
learning and teaching resource to enhance mathematical reasoning in Years 7 to 10. One
of the focus content areas is Statistics. Based on the results of assessment items completed
by students in the project schools across Australia, tasks and scaffolding strategies are
being suggested to improve student understanding across the years and to prepare for
further study in Years 11 and 12. This paper includes a learning progression, suggested
scaffolding questions for teachers, and examples of potential lessons.
