What Are Data and Graphs?
Data is just a fancy word for information!
We can collect data about things we like, count them, and then show them in colorful graphs. Graphs help us see patterns and understand information easily.
How We Make Graphs
1️⃣ Choose something to count (like favorite colors or pets)
2️⃣ Collect the information from friends or family
3️⃣ Show the numbers in a graph with colors or pictures

Parent Tips 🌟
- Make it personal: Collect data about things your child loves - their toys, snacks, or activities to keep them engaged.
- Use household items: Create simple graphs using cereal pieces, building blocks, or stickers for hands-on learning.
- Talk about patterns: Ask questions like "Which has the most? Which has the least?" to help them understand the data.
