Thinking in Patterns - Level 4 - Patterns in Data

Mr. Anderson introduces level 4 of thinking in patterns, focusing on identifying patterns in data. He emphasizes defining the system and the types of patterns to look for. Using Montessori solids, he demonstrates how to analyze data for patterns, such as mass and rolling direction. He then explores data from three bags, identifying relationships between colors and quantities. The video encourages viewers to explore patterns in various data sets, including real science applications.
