Numeracy from Practice to Theory: Using Interactive Case Studies

"Numeracy is to numbers what literacy is to letters:" a basic skill that must be acquired in real, authentic contexts. In this workshop, we surface teachers' (and participants') beliefs on how context helps or hinders students' successful problem-solving, and see how interactive tools can build understanding of a challenging concept in statistics, within an engaging context. The practical understanding gained from these contexts then builds theoretical understanding of the concepts they necessitated.
