My Sorting Book

Today you are a real Data Scientist!

Sort → Count → Graph → Share

You will do ALL FOUR steps today!

Look How Far We've Come!

In 8 sessions, you learned to:

1

Observe

Look carefully at things and describe them

2

Sort

Put things into groups using a rule

3

Count

Find out how many are in each group

4

Ask & Graph

Ask a question and show the answers on a graph

And you learned to READ graphs and say what you FOUND OUT!

Your Mystery Bag

DO NOT OPEN YET!

Inside your bag are mixed-up objects.

Your job: figure out what is inside

and make a graph that shows what you found!

When your teacher says GO — open your bag!

Step 1: SORT

Spread out ALL your objects.

Look at them carefully. What do you notice?

Choose ONE sort rule:

Color?    Shape?    Size?    Texture?

Put objects into groups.

Each object belongs in ONE group.

Draw each group on your worksheet!

Step 2: COUNT

Count how many are in each group.

Touch each one as you count: 1, 2, 3…

Write the NUMBER

5

Write it big in the box!

Draw DOTS

● ● ●
● ●

One dot = one object

Do this for EVERY group in your bag.

Step 3: MAKE A GRAPH

Draw your pictograph on the worksheet.

Group 1



4 objects
Group 2


3 objects
Group 3

2 objects

One star (or dot or smiley!) = one object.

Label each column with the group name.

Step 4: SHARE

Use a sentence frame to say what you found:

"We found out that ."
"The most is ."
"I notice that ."

Fill in ONE frame on your worksheet.

Then you will share it with the class!

TIME TO WORK!

Open your bag. Follow the steps.

Sort → Count → Graph → Fill in a sentence frame

If you finish early: sort your bag a DIFFERENT way!

Brain Break: Data Dance!

When I say the word — do the action!

SORT!
Move left or right!
COUNT!
Count on your fingers!
GRAPH!
Draw a column in the air!
FOUND OUT!
Point to your head!

Share Time!

Who wants to share what they found?

"We found out that ."

You can share by:

Saying it out loud

Pointing to your worksheet

Having a friend read it for you

ALL ways of sharing count!

Stand Up If You…

Let's celebrate everything you did!

Stand up if you sorted something today!
Stay standing if you counted your groups!
Stay standing if you made a graph!
Stay standing if you shared what you found!

EVERYONE IS STANDING! You are all Data Scientists!

You Are a Data Scientist!

Data scientists…

look carefully at the world

collect information

sort and count

make graphs

share what they find

YOU did all of that!

In 8 sessions you learned

every single skill a

data scientist uses.

That's amazing!

Take Home Your Work!

Your capstone worksheet goes home today!

Show your family what you made.

Tell them about your:

• Sort rule you chose

• Groups you made

• Graph you drew

• What you found out

Look at home for:

• Things to sort

• Things to count

• Questions to ask

• Data everywhere!

Congratulations!

You completed Data Science for Young Minds!


You sorted
