Pet attributes
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can choose attributes to describe and compare pets.
Key learning points
- Pets can be described using different attributes
- Attributes help us compare pets
- Some attributes use words and some use numbers
Keywords
Describe - say what something is like using words
Attribute - a thing or quality about an object, like its colour or size
Compare - looking at two or more things to see what is the same or different
Common misconception
Items in a data set shouldn't have the same attributes.
Attributes in a data set need to be the same so that they can be compared fairly.
Teacher tip
A key point in this lesson is what makes a good attribute, it is worth taking time to discuss this with pupils.
