Abstract: Abstract The purpose of this study is to investigate the reasoning about variation with Tinkerplots on diploma students. The participants of this study consist of four diploma students from a private university in Cyberjaya, Selangor. Data for this study was collected using interview technique and observations. During the interview, the participants were given structured activities related to variation to be solved separately with the aid of TinkerPlots. There were three structured activities given to the participants to be carried out using TinkerPlots within four sessions. While the participants completed their activities, they were observed and interviewed to investigate their reasoning about variation using TinkerPlots. The findings showed that all four participants in this study managed to complete the activities on the reasoning with variation from the structured activities. However, the result for each structured activity varies. Overall study shows that on average, the participants achieved level four of the statistical reasoning framework. The TinkerPlots software used in this study helps the participants in reasoning on their prediction about variation through the activities.
