Hi everyone.
My name is Mrs. Jenkins.
Welcome to today's lesson, which is called "Types of Pet Data," taken from the unit, Perfect Pets.
Let's get started.
In today's lesson, our learning outcome is, I can identify different data types used.
In our lesson today we have three key words.
These key words will appear throughout the lesson, so it's really important that we know what they mean before we get started.
Our three words today are data type, word and number.
Data type is the kind of data such as words or numbers.
A word is a group of letters that has a meaning.
Number is a symbol used for counting or measuring.
So those three key words are data type, word, and number.
Keep an eye out for them in today's lesson.
In our lesson Types of Pet Data, we have two learning cycles.
We have identify different data types and match data types to attributes.
Let's get started with, identify different data types.
Data can be lots of different things.
So we have some examples here.
We have the word yellow.
We have the numbers, 123.
We have a date, 25/02/2008.
A data type describes the kind of data stored.
For example, a data type could be a word, a number or a date.
Jacob says, "123.
" Andeep says, "Yellow.
" And Sofia says, "12/09/18," which is the 12th of September, 2018.
All our examples of data, but the types of data they hold is different.
So Jacob's is a number, Andeep's is a word, and Sophia's is a date.
Okay, let's have a little check in.
Which is an example of a number data type?
A, 3; B, fur; or C, brown.
Have a go.
How did you get on?
I asked, which is an example of a number data type.
A, 3; B, fur; or C, brown.
The answer is A, 3.
3 is an example of a number data type.
Great job, everyone.
3 is recorded as a number.
Fur and brown are recorded as words.
So we have a little table here showing us that we have number and word.
We have three under the number and fur and brown under words.
Okay, another little check in here.
True or false?
All data types are the same.
Have a go.
How did you get on?
I asked you, true or false?
All data types are the same.
The answer is false.
The reason why some data is shown using words and other data is shown using numbers.
These are examples of data types.
Great job, everyone.
Pet cards often use more than one data type.
For example, the color, which is a word, number of legs, is a number.
So our duck here, Puddle, the color is brown, and the number of legs is two.
We're going to move onto our first task now.
I would like you to look at the data and answer the questions.
So the first question is, what data types can you identify and how many different data types can you see?
So we have small, brown, 12/03/2025, or the 12th of March, 2025, 4, black, fluffy, and 2.
Have a go.
How did you get on?
I asked you to look at the data and then answer the two questions.
Number one, what data types can you identify?
And number two, how many different data types can you see?
And then we had small, brown, 12/03/2025, 4, black, fluffy, and 2.
So the different data types that we could identify.
We had words, numbers, and dates.
And then how many different data types can you see?
There are three different data types in the data.
Great job, everyone.
We are going to move on to learning cycle two now.
Match data types to attributes.
An attribute is a thing or quality people use to describe a pet.
Attributes are used because they are clear and they can be seen or counted.
Attributes are sometimes facts.
So we have a cat here and some of the attributes are 2 ears, 4 legs, brown, it has fur.
Different attributes use different data types.
Aisha says, "Age is recorded as 3.
" Andeep says, "Color is recorded as brown.
" Numbers are used when something can be counted or measured.
For example, age, number of legs or height in centimeters, all of these can be counted or measured.
So age will be number of years.
The number of legs, we can count how many they have, so 2.
And the heightened centimeters is something that can be measured.
Okay, a little check in here.
I would like you to fill in the missing word.
Age is shown using a.
Hmm.
Have a go.
How did you get on?
I asked you to fill in the missing word.
Age is shown using a, hmm.
Let's have a look at the answer.
Age is shown using a number.
Great job, everyone.
Words are used to describe what something looks like.
For example, color, black; type of fur, long; animal, cat.
So color is always going to be a word.
A description of the type of fur, whether it's long or short, will be a word.
And the type of animal, so whether it's cat, dog, fish will be a word.
Okay, let's have a little check-in.
Which data type should be recorded using a word?
A, color; B, age; or C, height.
Have a go.
How did you get on?
I asked which data type should be recorded using a word?
A, color; B, age; or C, height.
And it is A, color.
Color is a data type that should be recorded using a word.
Great job, everyone.
Different data types are used for different purposes.
Aisha says, "I can count the age.
" Andeep says, "I can describe the color.
" Choosing the correct data type helps show the information clearly.
So we have two data cards here.
We have Puddle.
It says her birthday is the 24th of April, 2022.
Her color is brown.
She has two legs and she is three years old.
Sunny, his birthday is the 5th of August, 2021.
The color is gold.
The legs are four and he is one years old.
Okay, we are going to move on to task B.
For each attribute, choose the data type used.
So we've got age, color, number of legs, height, birthday, and tail length.
Explain your choices.
Right.
Have a go.
How did you get on?
I asked you, for each attribute, choose the data type used.
So the attributes were age, color, number of legs, height, birthday, tail length.
And I asked you to explain your choices.
Different attributes can use different data types.
This shows the attribute clearly.
So for number, we might have age, number of legs, height and tail length.
For words, we have color, and for date, we have birthday.
Great job, everyone.
Well done.
You've worked so hard in today's lesson.
Let's summarize what we have learned.
You can write data in different ways.
Words and numbers are different data types.
Different data types are used for different purposes.
Choosing the correct data type helps show information clearly.
Great job, everyone.
You've worked so hard today.
I can't wait to learn with you again soon.
