Bring the Power of Data into your Algebra or Statistics Lessons!

Fathom Dynamic Data Software enhances students' comprehension of data analysis.

Data and technology have altered how we live and what students need to learn. Data analysis is now an integral component of high school Algebra courses. Fathom Dynamic Data software makes it easy to integrate data analysis and effective technology use into your current curriculum.

With Fathom, teaching data analysis has never been easier. You can use this dynamic software to bridge the gap between concrete and abstract mathematical and statistical concepts by letting students see and manipulate data in a clear graphic form.

You and your students can use real-world data to model relationships and derive algebraic functions.

With Fathom, you can use data to deepen your students' understanding of mathematics, statistics, science, and social science.

You and your students can quickly represent data in a variety of graphs, including bar charts, scatter plots, function plots, and histograms. This is very helpful for examining data and determining which graphs are most useful in a given situation.

You'll find it easy to motivate your students and show them the real-world relevance of statistics and data analysis with Fathom's more than 300 included data sets, which offer real information about a variety of subjects, including education, science, the social sciences, and sports.

Fathom provides you with a faster, more dynamic and engaging way to demonstrate statistical concepts than using transparencies or drawing on the board. Fathom works easily with your LCD projector, classroom computer, or SMART Board.

With its friendly, drag-and-drop interface for data import, Fathom is easy to learn, so you won't have classroom downtime.

You and your students can use the dynamic tools of Fathom to:

• Plot values and functions on top of data and vary them dynamically with sliders to show your students the effects of variables
• Build simulations that illuminate concepts from probability and statistics
• Demonstrate standard statistical analyses, including multiple linear regression
• Set up populations and sample from them repeatedly to give your students a feel for the sampling process and create sampling distributions of any statistic—no programming knowledge required!

Fathom Adds Dimension to a Range of Classes:

Algebra 1: Graphing data, the meaning of slope, using bivariate data
Algebra 2: Transforming data, fitting functions, using logarithms, making predictions
Geometry: Geometric probability
Precalculus and Calculus: Modeling data with complex functions, numeric methods for derivatives and integrals
Regular Statistics and AP® Statistics: Data exploration, probability and sampling simulations, performing inference (including chi-square, t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and multiple linear regression)
Science, social science, and other courses that use data can use Fathom, too.

Exploring Data Is Easy with Fathom

Get the data
Open one of the 300 included data sets covering a wide variety of areas—including education, science, the social sciences, and sports.
Download additional sample documents from our website.
Access current and historical U.S. Census microdata.
Enter your own data into Fathom by typing into a case table, importing from a website or spreadsheet, or conducting a simulation.

Graph and summarize the data
Drop one or more attributes on either axis or in the plot area to create a variety of graph types, including histograms, bar charts, and dot, box, percentile, ribbon, breakdown, and scatter plots.
Plot values and functions on the graph.
Create summary tables to get summary statistics and other values.

Analyze the data
Build sampling distributions and sample hundreds of times a second.
Use sliders as variable parameters to fit functions to data or explore mathematical relationships.
Drop attributes or enter summary statistics into one of Fathom's powerful statistical tools.
Use any of the 100 built-in functions—ranging from arithmetic, conditional, and statistics functions to random-number generators and more eclectic functions—or create your own formulas using Fathom's robust formula editor.
