As students deepen their understanding of numbers, they also begin developing statistical thinking. This institute explores how students learn to understand variability, analyze and interpret data, and conduct statistical investigations.

Through engaging activities, educators will explore ways to help students make sense of data representations, theoretical probability, and empirical probability, building the foundation for statistical inference and more advanced math and science learning.

As students move toward more abstract mathematical thinking, they begin to generalize what they know about computation and apply it to new ideas. Expressions, equations, and functions become powerful tools for describing real-world situations mathematically.

This institute will explore ways to introduce these concepts through concrete, meaningful learning experiences that connect to students’ existing knowledge.
