Introduction TinkerPlots® Dynamic Data Exploration is a software construction set for visualizing and simulating data. With it, students can create data in a sampler, 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. What makes TinkerPlots different from any other "graphing" or spreadsheet program is that, with TinkerPlots, students actually design their own graphs. This gives them a sense of being in control of what they produce. Like a word-processing or spreadsheet program, TinkerPlots is a general tool that teachers and students alike will find useful across a large range of subject matter. It comes with a variety of ready-to-analyze data collections, drawn from topics including mathematics, science, history, geography, health studies, sports, and more. TinkerPlots Help is a look-up guide, not a tutorial. It answers your questions about how to use TinkerPlots to accomplish specific tasks.
