1. Coin Flip - this coin flipper builds a column graph one flip at time - let your students see the progression as data is generated and collected [works best in Internet Explorer]
2. Coin Toss - toss enough coins to make a prediction about probability (maximum number of tosses 1000, but you can keep tossing to get a larger dataset)
3. Data Picking - students collect data, enter tally marks or numbers and then select which graph is appropriate
4. Every Breath You Take - Students estimate, experiment, and display real-life data. Students use the number of breaths taken during a specified time period for this exploration.
