🏷️ Summarizing Data: Attribute & Units

What we're learning

I can describe a data set by naming the attribute under investigation, how it was measured, and its units.

🏠 Try this at home

Pick any data around the house (heights, temperatures, minutes) and ask: what is being measured, how, and in what units?

Words to know

Attribute: The characteristic being measured or counted (height, temperature, time).
Units of measurement: The standard the attribute is measured in (cm, °F, minutes, books).
Measurement tool: What you use to get the value (ruler, thermometer, stopwatch).
