Thinking Tools and Variation.

Editor’s note: This article is a discussion of and reaction to five papers which appeared in the SERJ special issue 3(2) published in November 2004, on Research on Reasoning about Variation and Variability. These include four refereed papers reporting original research, by Hammerman and Rubin, Ben-Zvi, Bakker, and Reading, and Gould’s invited paper providing a statistician’s view of variation and its analysis. For brevity, these papers will be referenced here only by author names, without the year of publication. SUMMARY
