Abstract

We report on findings from a study involving 15 secondary mathematics teachers from Fiji. The aim of the study is to describe teachers' current approaches to teaching probability and statistics; and to share their views on using game-based teaching approaches. We report briefly on the first stage of follow-up on one teacher who agreed to develop and implement a lesson. The findings suggest teachers use of concrete materials is limited to conducting simple demonstrations. In statistics, teachers reported using data derived from real life scenarios. Teachers also registered strong support for using game-based teaching. Lack of time was listed as the major inhibiting factor.
