Before starting the chapter, think about all the things you know about the world
around you. Every time information is collected, it becomes data. Data can be
things like a person’s name, age or favourite food. In this chapter, you will learn how
to collect, sort and show data in different ways.
UNDERSTANDING DATA
Data refers to raw facts or figures that provide us with information about the
world around us. It can come in many forms, such as words, numbers or even
pictures. Imagine looking around you and noticing things like the colour of your
clothes, your favourite toys or the pets people own. All of this information is data.
When data is collected, it helps people make decisions, solve problems or learn
more about something.
