Mathematics - Term 2 - Week 6

Data handling is the process of collecting, organizing, and interpreting information. In our daily lives, we encounter data everywhere, such as counting the number of apples in a basket or recording the weather each day. Today, we will learn how to gather data, put it into charts, and answer questions based on that data.

Let's say we want to know how many students in our class have pets. We can ask each student and record their answers. For example, if 5 students have dogs, 3 have cats, and 2 have fish, we can create a simple chart. The chart might look like this: Pets | Number of Students ----- | ------------------ Dogs | 5 Cats | 3 Fish | 2 This helps us see how many students have each type of pet.

Now, let's create a class chart together! I will ask each of you what your favorite fruit is. As you tell me, I will write your answers on the board. After we finish, we will count how many students chose each fruit and fill in our chart. This will help us visualize our data and understand which fruit is the most popular in our class.

Now it's your turn! I want you to think about your favorite color. Write down your choice on a piece of paper. Once everyone has written their favorite color, we will create a chart on the board. After that, answer the following questions based on the chart: 1. Which color is the most popular? 2. How many students chose blue? 3. Did anyone choose green? This will help you practice interpreting the data we collected.
