Abstract
The aim of this workshop is to trial a professional learning activity developed as part of the Reframing Mathematical Futures II Project (RMIT and AAMT). The activity models a classroom lesson based on three of the Big Ideas underpinning statistics: Variation, Expectation, and Distribution. The lesson is created with cartoon characters in PowerPoint. Using student responses from research, participating teachers view the classroom interaction and discuss how the classroom teacher could scaffold students’ progress. This is followed by the use of an Australian open data set to illustrate the Big Ideas in a related authentic context.
