Data Analysis and Graphing Concepts

Mr. Anderson introduces mathematical and computational thinking, focusing on qualitative and quantitative data. The video guides viewers through identifying phenomena, gathering data, and organizing it into tables. It emphasizes the importance of quantifying data and creating graphs for better understanding. The tutorial includes practical examples using colored blocks and a Lego car to demonstrate data analysis and visualization techniques.

What is the first step in mathematical and computational thinking according to Mr. Anderson?

• Using computational tools

• Creating a graph

• Identifying the phenomena

• Gathering qualitative data

Which type of data is described as non-number data?

• Graphical data

• Quantitative data
