Develop students' understanding of data, numbers, probability, and graphs with TinkerPlots 2.
 |
TinkerPlots software is designed to get students in grades 4-8 excited about what they can learn from data. You and your students will analyze data by creating colorful visual representations that will help your students make sense out of real data and recognize patterns as they unfold. TinkerPlots is the optimal tool to help your students master probability and statistics concepts. | |
 |
New! With the Sampler Engine, students can design and run probability simulations, then plot the results to give a visual representation of the outcomes over many samples. With the Sampler Engine, TinkerPlots expands its focus from data and statistics to incorporate probability. |
New! TinkerPlots includes 16 new activities (in addition to seven updated activities) to enhance students' dynamic study of probability, data, and statistics.
What's New in Tinkerplots V2?:
New Software Features
- A Sampler Engine allows the user to design and run probability simulations. The sampler can include mixer, a spinner, stacks, bars, a curve, or counter devices. These options allow the user to set up events and the probability of events in different ways. Users can then plot the results, giving a visual representation of the outcomes over many samples. This adds flexibility to the program, expanding its focus from data and statistics to incorporate probability.
- Users can now collect measures (or statistics) from sampler data runs. For example, suppose you have just collected 100 repetitions of 4 flips of a coin, and observe that h, h, h, h occurred 8% of the time. You want to know how this percentage may vary if you repeat the collection of data. The history measure tool allows you to collect data regarding how often this outcome occurs when you repeat the run of the sampler.
- Dates are now recognized as numbers and can be plotted on an axis.
- Users can now paste images into the plot background, allowing them to see locations plotted on a map.
- A new icon style called Value Circle displays icons sized proportionally to their values.
- Users can now use the Ruler tool to measure distances between two values, including measures of center. You can lock the ruler onto some values to automatically calculate the difference for each sample that is taken.
- Auto-Tile Layout makes all objects visible in a single, non-scrolling window. Objects make room for one another rather than overlap. Users can switch to Scrolling-Overlap Layout if they need more space.
ActivitiesSixteen new activities—in addition to seven updated activities—incorporating TinkerPlots version 2 functionality have been written to enhance a dynamic study of probability, data, and statistics. |
TutorialsFour new tutorials, two focused on data and statistics and two focused on probability, help teachers and students learn how to use TinkerPlots features. |
|
Sample Data SetsSixteen new data sets (in addition to the previous 40) give teachers even more interesting and relevant data to explore with their students. |
Help VideosNew help videos introduce teachers to the new features of TinkerPlots, and demonstrate how to use them effectively. |
