Task #Problem Solving & Logical Reasoning
Your favourite songs
• Think about songs! Which songs do you like to listen to? Which songs do you love to sing?
• Do you have a favourite song, artist, album, or playlist?
• Let’s start thinking about the different aspects of a song, like instruments played and lyrics.
• Do your favourite songs have anything in common?
• Maybe your favourite music falls within the same genre.
✶ A genre refers to the different styles of music.
✶ Common genres include hip-hop, pop, alternative, and rock.
✶ Classifying songs by genre, and other traits allows us to see trends in our favourite music.
✶ All of this information is valuable data that we can count, summarise, and present!
Instructions
• Draw a grid with 6 columns as shown.
• Title the first column Song Name, then write down the names of 5-10 of your favourite songs.
• For this activity, we’re going to collect data about the Album, Artist, Genre, Year, and Song Length.
• Add the headings to your table.
• Fill out the table by looking up each song on Google, Spotify, or Apple Music.
Let’s visualise
• Count the number of songs that fall into each genre.
• Make a bar chart to visualise the number of songs within each genre using your counting. Colour each bar
a different colour.
• You will get a graph as shown in the image.
