Abstract
- Informed by teaching statistics across curriculum areas strategies, this study investigated the skills of 36 pre-service teachers (PSTs) who designed numeracy activities that focused on the statistics strand of the Australian curriculum. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that the PSTs designed numeracy activities focused on the science curriculum area. The results further showed that PSTs emphasised a few year levels and focused on collecting and recording data. The first stage of teaching statistics (designing effective questions) is often ignored in their activities. The approach adopted in this study can be used to identify PSTs' knowledge gaps and their professional learning requirements.
