Much like the field of statistics and probability education, the Probability and Statistics Education Thematic Working Group (TWG5) is a vibrant and energetic community within the CERME biennial conference. The working group’s responsiveness to an evolving and growing field of scholarship is evident in the transformation in CERME9 from its previous nomenclature of the Stochastic Thinking working group to encompass probability education in the newly named Probability and Statistics Education Thematic Working Group. The growth in international research in statistics and probability education (evident in the proliferation of publications, conferences and discipline-specific journals) was reflected in the increase in submissions to the working group and subsequent necessity to expand into two subgroups at the most recent CERME11 conference. papers and 9 posters presented by over 42 participants reaching far beyond the borders of Europe.
