Collecting and analyzing different types of data can be a lot of fun! Let’s make it easier to understand:

Qualitative Data:

This is information that isn’t about numbers. You can collect it by:

• Giving surveys with questions that let people answer freely, like “What’s your favorite school lunch?”
• Watching how many friends hang out and play together during breaks.

Quantitative Data:

This type of data is all about numbers. To gather it, you can:

• Count how many sports your classmates play.
• Keep track of how many hours they study each week.

Analyzing the Data:

• For qualitative data, look for common answers and patterns. This means finding similar responses and seeing how they connect.
• For quantitative data, you can create bar graphs or calculate averages to make the information easier to understand.

Don’t forget, both types of data help us learn more about our world!
