Students discover meaning as they explore data with the unique visual nature of InspireData. Integrated Table and Plot Views work together as students build databases and then visually analyze the data with multiple plot types, such as Venn, stack, pie and axis plots.

Develop data literacy Collect and organize data Students use InspireData's Table View to enter, import and customize data from experiments or research activities.

In Table View, students:

• Enter multiple data types easily, such as numbers, text, lists, series and formulas
• Start with one of InspireData's 50+ curriculum-based databases
• Import data from the Internet or other sources
• Use the Questionnaire tool to launch surveys and guide data collection
• Customize table properties or create multiple tables within a database
• Add notes to reference sources and provide explanations

Analyze data with multiple plot types
Venn, stack, pie and axis plots offer students multiple ways to
visualize and investigate data.

In Plot View, students:

• Create Venn plots with up to three loops to show similarities and differences
• Create stack plots to show distribution of values and take data analysis further using stack plot options, such as parallel stack plots
• Create pie plots to easily recognize patterns or subdivide data in multiple pie plots
• Create axis plots to investigate correlations and discover relationships
• Manipulate variables and settings to further explore data
• Easily select and change axis labels to visualize different sets of data
• Isolate data subsets to focus investigation
• View data as it changes over time with animated Time Series
• Customize plots with labels, colors and unique icons
• Combine data categories to discover larger trends
• Perform calculations and use basic statistical tools, such as mean, median and summary counts, to support conclusions and summarize data
