Pupils pay attention

STEP 2

EXPLANATION

The teacher lists the examples of relay race and skills

 

There are three (3) standard relays raced at the Olympics are the 4 × 100 m relay race, 4 × 400 m relay race and medley relay race

 

Skills

STEP 3

DEMONSTRATION

The teacher explains the meaning, types and uses of data

Data can be defined as a representation of facts, concepts, or instructions in a formalized manner, which should be suitable for communication, interpretation, or processing by human or electronic machine.

 

Types of data

1. Integer e.g 4, 27, 65535

2. Floating points e.g 4.2, 27.4, 5.63

3. Character e.g a, F, 3, $, £, #

4. string e.g abc, hello world

5. Boolean- true or false

 

Uses of data

1. Describing

2. Diagnosing

3. Predicting

4. Prescribing

Pupils pay attention and participate
