Math is the same all around the world. For example in every country 1+1=2.

• True

• False

Scientists use math to...

• ...support their hypothesis.

• ...change people's minds.

• All of the Above

What is data?

• Collected facts and numbers.

• The tail of a monkey.

• What scientists do after work.

• They are almost always wrong.

• They are almost always correct and the same for everyone.

• They are different for everybody.

• They change a lot over time.

When you want to share your ideas it is useful to...

• ... use a lot of complicated words.

• Breaking Apart

• Skip Counting

Math helps us understanding the world around us by giving us ways to describe it (for example with data).

• True

• False

The more we know about numbers (like place value and related facts), the easier it is to work with them. This will help us becoming better in math and understanding our world better.

• True

• False
