Many of you will be familiar with CODAP (Common Online Data Analysis Platform). You may have attended one of the many sessions around the country or as part of the AMAonline series.
In the book Statistical Investigations | Te Tūhuratanga Tauanga (Arnold, 2022, p. 221), there is some background about CODAP, some of which is shared here.
CODAP is free open source software for data analysis built for use in schools. With CODAP, you can explore, visualize, and learn from data in any content area. Our mission is to make data literacy accessible for all students. CODAP is easy to use and runs in your web browser. CODAP is (and always will be) free. Share your data with others and bring it to life!
CODAP is created and maintained by The Concord Consortium. In New Zealand, CODAP has been used successfully with students from Year 4 onwards. CODAP has been designed to be accessible to younger students, allowing novice users to visualise data quickly and fluidly.
CODAP supports developing statistical concepts as well as doing statistical analysis. In CODAP, graphs are dynamically linked; highlighting data points in one graph highlights the same cases in all other graphs, tables, and maps.
