In this 6th-grade math lesson, students explore the concepts of numerical and categorical data. They will learn to classify questions into these categories, distinguishing between numerical results (quantitative) and categorical results (qualitative). Students will engage with various problems, such as determining the number of pets owned by classmates and analyzing the weights of backpacks. The lesson also includes activities on ordering data, determining the mean, and identifying statistical questions, aimed at enhancing their understanding of basic data analysis in mathematics.
