Thirty-nine middle school students from one Title 1 school in the southeastern United States were recruited. Students participated in a pre-test and post-test design with 9-weeks of the data visualization exercises. The students’ gender, socio-economic status (SES), and ethnicity were examined as moderating variables. ANOVA detected significant and positive changes in students’ data analysis and measurement skills. However, there was no significant change in students’ attitudes towards mathematics and computer self-efficacy. A students’ gender and ethnicity did not significantly interact with any of the criterion measures. A discussion is provided.
