| Abstract: | Gapminder is a free and easy to use software for visualising real‐world data in multiple dimensions. The simple format of the Cartesian coordinate system is used in a dynamic and interactive way to convey a great deal of information. This tool can be readily used to arouse students' natural curiosity regarding world events and to increase the motivation to understand statistics. |
