Abstract: 

Several tasks used in research studies are presented with assessment rubrics and examples of the development of student understanding. The tasks focus on students' appreciation of variation in several contexts and illustrate the need to discuss variation in the classroom and to ask students specifically about it during assessment.

The CAUSE Research Group is supported in part by a member initiative grant from the American Statistical Association’s Section on Statistics and Data Science Education
