Abstract:
Box and whisker plots were introduced to a group of eight students for enrichment and foolow-up sessions as part of a project looking at the ideas that 11 and 12-year-olds have about central tendency and dispersion. This paper reports some tentative findings about the teaching and learning of box and whisker plots to middle-school children.
