TinkerPlots
Introducing TinkerPlots, the only software program specifically designed to get students in years 4-8 excited about what they can learn from data! A must for inquiry-based math and science classrooms in which students collect and analyse data to explore their own hypotheses, TinkerPlots helps students grasp the key concepts that drive data analysis by providing user-friendly plotting tools to make their own graphs! Here’s how TinkerPlots can enhance your class: - It introduces a new way of making graphs by using a construction set of graph pieces that students add one at a time to build what they want. Graphing has never been so easy and fun!
- Students can explore their graphs to identify common measures such as the mean, median, mode, and more. In addition, they can drag an outlier and watch these measures change dynamically!
- Its colourful, easy-to-learn interface encourages student activity.
- Data colouring helps students detect subtle relationships in their data.
- Students can create, import, or download data relevant to their classes, or investigate more than 40 data sets included with TinkerPlots.
- Using the construction set students can graph data in multiple ways including dot plots, map graphs, histograms, scatter plots, and box graphs. Students can highlight a case in one graph and see where it is in all the other graphs. They can add text and pictures, turning a TinkerPlots file into a colourful report.
The TinkerPlots package includes: - TinkerPlots CD-ROM
- Exploring Data With TinkerPlots
- Quick Reference Card
- Access to the Online Resource Centre
