Abstract: 

States and local schools face the implementation of the Chance and Data part of a curriculum with no Australian research base from which to make recommendations for the preparation of teachers or for the suggestion of methods and topics realistic to the developmental level of the students. It is the purpose of this paper to suggest such a base.
