Whether our children are facing a career in accounting, medicine, science or art, they will be faced with a tremendous amount of data – an amount of data that could never have been predicted when our educational curriculum were developed years ago. Your child will face a future where making good business decisions or predicting trends in their industry will require working with data on a level that would be awe inspiring by even today’s standards. The data analysis of tomorrow will be like peeling an onion. Just finding the right data to analyze could be as challenging as the data analysis itself. A solid background in pattern recognition will be a must for the data-driven world that lies ahead.
This worksheet above is one of the free sample selections from our children’s educational book “The Forgotten Milestone“. Children Ages 4-10.
