the navigation)
➔ Take a look at the cards in front of you
➔ Put together the cards that belong together for
you (you can discuss the classification)
➔ Name the groups you’ve created

18. ➔ Gather together the 3 groups and compare your
groups

group to another
➔ Can you already see some statistically significant
patterns?
