Exploring Data is a website that I created in 1997 while working as the Raybould Fellow for Education Queensland.

It is a bit long in the tooth but the paper-based resources on the website are still useful. If you teach introductory statistics, it is worth a look around.

The Baby Name Wizard is a fascinating website that graphically displays the number of babies with different names over the years. You can easily track the popularity of different names. What do you think was the most common boy's name and most common girl's name in 1990?

Note that the website takes some time to appear as it has to download a lot of data. Be patient!

The World Clock website has continuously updated information about the world such as the world population, number of births, number of deaths, number of cars and the number of barrels of oil produced. It is a wonderful discussion starter for a number of maths topics including time series data and rates of change (gradient).
