    SORTING DATA

                     Sorting data means arranging information in a clear and organised order. For
                     example, you can arrange books on a shelf from A to Z or line up numbers from

                     the smallest to the largest. In simple terms, sorting is the process of putting data
                     in a specific order.

                     Different ways to sort data are as follows:

                         Alphabetical (A   Z or Z   A) for words, such as

                         names or subjects.
                         Numerical (smallest   largest or largest   smallest)             About  70% of surveys use
                         for marks, heights or scores.                                    multiple-choice questions for
                                                                                          easy analysis.
                         Date order (oldest         newest or newest           oldest)
                         for timelines or events.

                                                               ACTIVITY-3

                        Create a presentation on Everyday Robots. Prepare a separate slide for each
                        robot. On each slide, include the robot’s name, a picture of the robot and
                        a short description explaining what the robot does. Once all the slides are

                        prepared, sort the slides in alphabetical order based on the robot names.

                                                               ACTIVITY-4

                        Students  will make  flashcards for different  Internet  services,  writing  the
                        name and a short description. Then, they will group the cards by function:

                        Communication (e.g., Email), Entertainment (e.g., Video Streaming), Shopping
                        (e.g., Online Shopping) and Information (e.g., News Websites). Finally, they
                        can discuss why each service belongs in its category.

                         1.  Sorting data means arranging information in a clear and organised order.

                         2.  Different ways to sort data are alphabetical, numerical and data order.
