It provides a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge international research on the development of young learners’ reasoning about data and chance in formal, informal, and non-formal educational contexts. The authors share insights into young children’s statistical and probabilistic reasoning and provide early childhood educators and researchers with a wealth of illustrative examples, suggestions, and practical strategies on how to address the challenges arising from the introduction of statistical and probabilistic concepts in pre-school and school curricula. This collection will inform practices in research and teaching by providing a detailed account of current best practices, challenges, and issues, and of future trends and directions in early statistical and probabilistic learning worldwide. Further, it will contribute to future research and theory building by addressing theoretical, epistemological, and methodological considerations regarding the design of probability and statistics learning environments for young children.Early Mathematics Learning and Development,2213-9281Early childhood educationMathematicsStudy and teachingLearning, Psychology ofStatisticsEarly Childhood EducationMathematics EducationInstructional PsychologyStatistical Theory and MethodsEarly childhood education.MathematicsStudy and teaching.Learning, Psychology of.Statistics.Early Childhood Education.Mathematics Education.Instructional Psychology.Statistical Theory and Methods.372.21519.50712Leavy Aislingedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMeletiou-Mavrotheris Mariaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtPaparistodemou Efiedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910299524403321Statistics in Early Childhood and Primary Education2503262UNINA
