The spreadsheet allows graphs showing the data to be drawn instantaneously as the data is inputted helping student visualise the variation/distribution of the data within the class. | * Students measure various quantities (including but not limited to; arm length, height, hand span) and then analyse this data to look for patters of distribution amongst the class. | ||
