Here are some ways that your parents can practice with you:

• Make up some survey questions that you can ask people about.  "How many pockets do you have?"  "What's your favorite color?"
• Organize the results of your survey in a chart or graph
• Compare the data in the different categories--"Five more people like pink than blue"
• Make a prediction about what would happen next--"If I asked ten more people, I predict that most will like pink"
• Have your parent ask you how likely it is that something will happen today--"Is it certain, somewhat certain, somewhat unlikely, or unlikely that we will eat lunch today?"
• Sort objects depending on their characterictics--Sort a bag of candy, sort the socks, sort your laundry.
