Proceedings of the Roundtable conference of the International Association for Statistics Education (IASE), July 2024, Auckland, New Zealandhttps://hdl.handle.net/2292/71862Posing questions about categorical variables and answering them using representations is a neglected area of research. A small exploratory study was conducted with 13-14-year-old Pasifika and Māori students using culturally appropriate data and pedagogy. Data collection included pre and post-tests and a video-record of a 10-lesson implementation. The findings indicated novice students could learn to pose quantitative questions about categorical variables but struggled to deconstruct questions and to decode representations to answer simple, conditional, and joint questions. The implications of the findings are discussed.Items in ResearchSpace are protected by copyright, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise indicated.
