๐Ÿ“š Topic Summary

Imagine you have a collection of colorful candies. Unplugged data analysis is like sorting those candies by color, counting how many of each you have, and then answering questions like, "Which color do I have the most of?" or "How many candies are red or blue?" We do all this without using computers! It's all about observing, organizing, and making sense of information around us. It helps us understand the world better!๐ŸŒ

In third grade, we focus on simple data sets and answering basic questions based on what we see and learn. We might use charts, graphs, or even just groups of objects to help us understand and analyze the information!

๐Ÿงฎ Part A: Vocabulary

Match the term with its definition:

3. Sort C. Facts and statistics collected together for reference or analysis
4. Bar Graph D. To examine something in detail to understand it
5. Conclusion E. A decision reached after thinking about information.

โœ๏ธ Part B: Fill in the Blanks
