In this article, the author presents a short teaching sequence to show how to introduce young students in grades 3 (ages 8-9) and 4 (ages 9-10) to using digital tools for exploring larger and multivariate data sets. The teacher guided the young students from creating bar graphs in small data sets on embodied cognition and enactive levels to creating bar graphs in larger data sets using the digital data exploration tool TinkerPlots. The author shows how to realize a smooth transition process to introduce young students to creating bar graphs to display distributions of categorical data when exploring large and meaningful data sets in a three-step design: from embodied experiences to using data cards and finally to using TinkerPlots.
