Tinker Plots: Tools and Curricula for Enhancing Data Analysis in the Middle School

[9818946]马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校正在开发一种新型的数据分析软件工具“修补图”，用于中学数据分析和统计的教学。Tinker Plots提供了一个构建集，而不是一个现成的图形类型菜单，并帮助学生和教师了解数据分析的探究驱动性质。Tinker Plots的开发是与开发中学数学综合教学材料的团队合作完成的。为了支持软件的课堂测试，正在对这些教学材料的一些单元进行修订。

9818946KONOLDThe University of Massachusetts, Amherst is developing a new type of data analysis software tool, "Tinker Plots," for instructional use in data analysis and statistics in middle schools. Tinker Plots offers a construction set rather than a menu of ready-made graph types and helps orient students and teachers to the inquiry-driven nature of data analysis. The development of Tinker Plots is done in collaboration with teams that developed comprehensive instructional materials for middle school mathematics. Revisions of some units of these instructional materials are being done in order to support the classroom testing of the software.
