This study seeks to describe the subject matter knowledge needed for teaching<br><br>statistical association at the secondary level. Taking a practice-based qualitative<br><br>approach, three experienced teachers were observed as they taught statistical<br><br>association and interviewed immediately following each observation. Records of<br><br>practice were assembled to create a compilation document to recreate each of the<br><br>fifty observed class sessions along with related materials including textbook pages<br><br>and student work. Analysis of the compilation documents focused on the demands<br><br>upon teachers' subject matter knowledge involved in the practice of teaching.<br><br>Findings regarding the knowledge required for teaching correlation coefficient are<br><br>highlighted, including its computation, interpretation, sensitivity, estimation, and<br><br>related terminology.
