Introduction \| Overview \| Movies \| Building Plots \| Staff \| Staff Info

TinkerPlots is a software construction set of basic operations (stack, order, separate) that allows students to build their own plots to analyze data.

TinkerPlots is especially useful for mathematics teachers striving to teach students data analysis in line with recommendations of the NCTM's Curriculum Standards, and to inquiry-based science classrooms where students collect and analyze data as part of formulating and testing their own hypotheses.

Overview. We describe how Tinkerplots empowers students as data analysts and show examples of student work.

Staff. We are working with classroom teachers, publishers of mathematics curricula, and other software developers.

Tinkerplots 1.0 is now available from Key Curriculum Press
