Veda Bites are swipeable micro-lessons — each one teaches exactly one idea. Here's a taste from this kit; the app has the full deck.
Guessing is not counting.
Data is what you write down after looking. Counts, names, measurements, things you noticed. Two people guessing twenty and thirty have no data between them. One person who went round the room and wrote it down has some.
Look it up or go and ask.
The capital of India is settled already, so you look it up. The snack your class would pick for a picnic is not settled anywhere. Only your class holds that answer, so you have to go and ask them.
Collected is only half done.
Two pages of names and fruits contain the answer and still cannot give it to you. The same fruit is scattered down the page, so counting means reading every line and losing your place. Organising is the other half of the job.
Pictures instead of digits.
A pictograph lines up small identical pictures, one row to a category. A longer row means a bigger number. You can compare two rows the way you compare two queues, without reading a single digit.
No key, no meaning.
One drawn notebook is worth nothing until somebody says what it stands for. The key says it: one picture means ten notebooks. Write the key beside the pictograph, always. Without it the drawing is only decoration.
One for one, while it lasts.
Eight children wear spectacles, so draw eight pairs and say one picture is one child. Easy to draw and easy to check. It works until the counts start running into the dozens.
Where data comes from, which questions need it, and the two ways to tidy a heap of answers: tally marks feeding a frequency table, and putting numbers in order.

145 questions laddered from warm-up to topper-level, each with an explanation. A taste:
Arun writes down the colour of every door on his street. Is that data?
BeginnerYes, it is a set of observations recorded about a set of things
Observations count as data. Data does not have to be numbers.
The frequency of a value is the number of ____ it appears in the data.
Beginnertimes
Frequency counts appearances, so it is a number of times.
Meera has four closed bundles and two loose strokes beside cricket. How many chose cricket?
Beginner22 children
Four bundles give 4 x 5 = 20, and the two loose strokes add two.
Which of these questions does NOT need any data to be collected?
BeginnerIn which year did India become independent from British rule
A settled historical fact is looked up rather than surveyed.
