NCSS Jr. 6.0 
and Tab Delimited 
. Datasets
These
datasets support the activities, worksheets, assessment and
articles in the Exploring Data website. Datasets are available in
three formats - Excel 4.0 ,
NCSS Jr. 6.0
and Tab Delimited .
| Notes: |
| Clicking on the name of the dataset will give you the story behind the dataset. |
| NCSS Jr 6.0 datasets require that you download two files, with extensions .s0 and .s1 |
| Students should work with real data gathered by others for purposes of solving problems. But they should also gather data themselves. The article Student-Generated Data discusses a few ways that this can be done. |
