Supporting teachers to diagnose and deal with students’ statistical misinterpretations

Innovative teacher training with eye-tracking vignettes

Statistically literate students are essential in today’s data-driven society. To foster this, mathematics education must equip learners with the data literacy skills to critically interpret and reflect on statistical graphs—such as histograms, boxplots, case-value plots, and dotplots. However, many students struggle with these visual representations and the conclusions they imply. The Eye-Teach-Stats project aims to supports preservice and in-service mathematics teachers in recognizing and addressing students’ misinterpretations of statistical graphs.
