Initiating interest in statistical problems: the role of picture story books
This chapter presents results of a study that explored children’s interest in
picture story books that were used to contextualise and initiate statistical problems
and statistical problem solving. The chapter presents the results of a small study
conducted with 5-year-old children in a public school in Australia and identifies
the characteristics of the books the children were interested in. It discusses the role
of picture story books in initiating interest in the data context and task context of a
statistical problem, and the unique challenges in identifying books for contextualising
statistical problems
