Research investigating how students begin to consider and reason about variation will help educators identify stages of this development. This can provide direction for learning activities to help students develop a strong consideration of variation that can be applied in a variety of contexts. In the present study, tertiary student responses to a class test and an assignment question are analysed, resulting in a description of levels of consideration of variation relevant to these tasks. This and other hierarchies previously developed are used to formulate a Consideration of Variation Hierarchy applicable to a variety of tasks. Implications for research and teaching are discussed.
