The foremost tool to visualize, investigate and understand data

With InspireData students investigate, manipulate and analyze data in science, mathematics and social studies. Applying the proven strategies of visual learning to data literacy, students discover meaning as they collect and explore data in a dynamic inquiry process. Students formulate questions and make connections between data and its visual representations to interpret information, solve problems and draw conclusions. As a result, students develop deeper content knowledge and stronger critical thinking skills.

Originally funded under a grant from the National Science Foundation, InspireData has been developed by TERC and published by Inspiration Software to give students visualization tools that support improved data literacy. TERC is a leading educational research and development lab committed to improving mathematics and science teaching and learning.
