Elementary preservice teachers' reasoning about modeling a family factory with TinkerPlots - A pilot study

"Konold et al. (2007) introduce the idea of bringing together data and chance with the sampler of TinkerPlots. They developed  a  metaphor of the  sampler  as a "data  factory",  that produces 'real objects' – carrying a bundle of attributes. A simulation is used not only for modelling a single event, but also for modeling and reproducing whole distributions."
