TinkerPlots™
Dynamic Data Exploration is a data analysis program designed
specifically for use by students in grades 4-8. With it,
students can enter data they collect themselves or find
on the Internet and can create their own graphs or tables
of these data. They can also use TinkerPlots to produce
reports that include these graphs, along with text that
explains their findings and even photos they take or locate
on the Internet.
TinkerPlots is presently being tested and piloted
in schools where teachers are also writing manuals for its
use system wide.
