Abstract
Despite its importance for the discipline, the statistical investigation cycle
is given little attention in schools. Teachers face unique challenges in teaching
statistical inquiry, with elements unfamiliar to many mathematics classrooms: Coping
with uncertainty, encouraging debate and competing interpretations, and supporting
student collaboration. This chapter highlights ways for teacher educators to support
teachers’ learning to teach statistical inquiry. Results of two longitudinal studies are
used to formulate recommendations to develop teachers’ proficiency in this area.
