TLDR
This chapter describes part of an instructional sequence for learning about shape starting with large data distributions and included a focus on developing the language of shape for describing distributions and identifying key features for description.Abstract:
Students often struggle with describing the shape of different data distributions as they are distracted by the noise and do not ‘see’ the signal. Their attention is drawn to the actual outline of the distribution rather than an inferred distributional shape. In this chapter, we describe part of an instructional sequence for learning about shape starting with large data distributions. The instruction was trialled in a year 10 class (age 14) and included a focus on developing the language of shape for describing distributions and identifying key features for description. Responses from pre- and post-tests are briefly discussed and a proposed framework for describing distributions is presented.read more

Mechanical metamaterials associated with stiffness, rigidity and compressibility: a brief review
TL;DR: In this article, a clear classification of mechanical metamaterials have been established based on the fundamental material mechanics, which can be divided into strong-lightweight (E/ρ), pattern transformation with tunable stiffness, negative compressibility (−4G/3), and strong light-weight (S/ρ).

The mechanical response of cellular materials with spinodal topologies
TL;DR: In this paper, the mechanical response of cellular materials with spinodal topologies is numerically and experimentally investigated, and it is shown that the strength and stiffness of shell spin-odal models outperform those of most lattice materials and approach theoretical bounds for isotropic cellular materials.

Authentic Inquiry With Data: Critical Barriers to Classroom Implementation
TL;DR: The Tabletop as discussed by the authors is a prototype computer-based data analysis tool based on animated visual representations, and reports on clinical and classroom trials of this tool illustrate students' understanding of the software interface as well as interacting subtleties of data creation and analysis.
