DataScope Introduction:

DataScope 1.4 is a Macintosh application for use in introductory courses that stress the analysis of real data. It is especially useful for mathematics teachers striving to teach students data analysis in line with recommendations offered by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics in their Principles and Standards for School Mathematics, and to inquiry-based science classrooms where students collect and analyze data as part of formulating and testing their own hypotheses.

The following sample documents are installed in the DataScope folder, each with a data set that you can explore. Double-click on one of following files on your hard disk to explore the data:

HS Survey Demo
HS Survey 90
HS Survey 91
Country 5/92
Olympic 8/92

Also included with the software is a User’s Guide and Instructional Activities that make use of these data sets. These are both pdf files, and you will need Acrobat Reader to read them.

System Requirements:

DataScope was written in for Mac Classic computers in 1992, and runs on all Mac computers up through the "PowerPC" era of about 2007. More specifically you need:

· Any Macintosh computer with 1MB of RAM or more
· MacOS 6.0.5 - 9.2.2 or MacOS X with the Classic environment installed
· 68000 or PowerPC processor, but NOT Intel processors.

We have tested it on recent versions of Macintosh’s operating system (including OS X 10.4) and it appears to work well. But we cannot guaranty that it will continue to do so, and we are not planning any future updates.
