Ask Data Questions & Choose Data to Collect

How the lesson starts: Ask Data Questions & Choose Data to Collect

Remy's big story
Hi there! Meet Remy the raccoon. Remy writes the class newspaper. This week's headline asks: which snack does our class like most? To find out, Remy needs data!
Data question or not?
A data question gets different answers from different people. Which snack does our class like most? Yes, ask everyone! What color is this apple? No, just look. How many sides does a square have? No, we already know!
Let's test three questions
Which question needs data from the whole class? What color is this pencil? One look answers it. How many sides does a triangle have? Everyone knows: 3. Which game does our class like most? Every kid may answer differently. That one needs class data!
