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.
