Statistical literacy is increasingly recognised as vital for our students to become "intelligent consumers who can make critical and informed decisions” (NCTM, 189, p. 105). Conversely, fractions are sometimes seen as not relevant in today's digital world, yet they present an opportunity to engage students' multiplicative thinking and support future mathematical topics such as algebra, equations, and ratios . This workshop shows how connecting fractions with data can support the understanding of both these important topics and make them meaningful to students' lives. The workshop activity uses a connectionist approach to bring several mathematical concepts and areas of the NSW syllabus together, mapping a Lovitt and Clarke (1988) activity to the Australian F-10 Curriculum v.9.
