Abstract
Given the vast number of data representations that people encounter daily, it is imperative that people become critical consumers of the representations they will face. This requires the development of particular habits of mind. The purpose of this paper is to share the critical statistical literacy habits of mind framework. We articulate how we drew on the literature related to statistical literacy, critical mathematics, and critical statistical literacy to identify the habits of mind needed to enact critical statistical literacy in the context of consuming data representations. We describe the refinement process using qualitative interview data. To illustrate what each of the critical statistical literacy habits of mind looks like when enacted, we share examples from statistics teachers making sense of a data representation.
