Statistics and probability

On this page there are links to papers on three modules that explain the basic concepts of probability and statistics:

  • Statistical representations and measures
  • Statistical analysis
  • Probability

These provide details of the knowledge students should have and some of the misconceptions they may hold. Examples are given to illustrate what these misconceptions may look like, how to address them, and support teachers in developing pedagogical and content knowledge.
