TinkerPlots Dynamic Data ExplorationDevelop your students' understanding of data, numbers, probability, and graphs with TinkerPlots® Dynamic Data Exploration software. TinkerPlots is designed to get students in grades 4–9 excited about what they can learn from data, and its drag-and-drop interface makes it easy to learn and fun to use.
I had the opportunity to introduce my students to TinkerPlots yesterday. I knew they'd like it, but I was not prepared for the excited and enthusiastic response it got. There were kids who wanted to know how to buy the program for themselves! Can you imagine...kids wanting an educational program, especially one that is not disguised as a video game. There was even a chant of "TinkerPlots, TinkerPlots" at the end of one of the classes. I'm stunned. —Devin Hess, Community School of the East Bay, Oakland, CA

With its new sampler engine, TinkerPlots is also the optimal tool to help your students master probability and statistics concepts listed in the Common Core State Standards.
