Data is a collection of information we can count, measure, and organize.
Collect data (like favorite fruits or shoe sizes)
Organize it in charts and tables
Display it using bar graphs, pictographs, and line plots
Ask and answer questions about the data
If 5 kids like apples and 3 like bananas,
you can show that in a bar graph or pictograph.
Data helps us:
Understand what people like or do
Make smart decisions
Explain things with numbers
