The development of informal inferential reasoning via resampling

This study focuses on the development of secondary and tertiary students’ informal inferential reasoning while engaging in data driven sampling and resampling activities. Through the use of hands-on manipulatives and simulations with technology, the participants will construct empirical sampling distributions in order to investigate the inferences that can be drawn from the data. Data collection and analysis will begin during the fall of 2014. Results and initial analyses will be presented in this poster.
