Just Like My Dad

In this book, Millie the Mathematician helps us collect data to make simple inferences from asking yes/no questions. We learn that by asking simple questions, we can collect information that allows us to guess, or work out an answer. Millie asks Anton simple yes/no questions to make inferences about the occupation of Anton’s dad, using the process of elimination. This book addresses content from the Statistics and Probability strand within the Data representation and interpretation sub-strand of the Australian Curriculum: Mathematics. The specific Australian Curriculum content descriptor addressed is: “Answer yes/no questions to collect information and make simple inferences.”
