Description
Earlier topics taught you to compare objects and check if they match or not. This allows you to GROUP matching things together! This is the final step towards counting (in the next level). Because, well, counting is nothing more than adding things to the same ‘group’, and then attaching a number to that.
Objectives
The learning objectives in this topic are defined as follows.
- Understand what a group (or category) is.
- Group things that are the same (based on some property).
- Compare GROUPS against each other.
