In the world of data and math,
We have some words that cross our path,
They may seem complex at first,
But soon you'll know them, not cursed.

Convergence is when things come together,
Like friends meeting in fine weather,
It's when lines or ideas meet,
To make something complete.

Covariance is when two things relate,
And how they change with each other's fate,
It shows us if things are linked,
Or if they are independent, distinct.

Convolution is a fancy way,
To say we're blending things today,
We take two sets and mix them up,
To make something new, and that's not enough.

A database is where we keep things stored,
Like all our books, photos and more,
We can search and find them fast,
And all our memories will last.

Correlation shows us how things connect,
Like a chain that's perfectly kept,
It tells us if things are close,
Or if they're far, like a butterfly's nose.

Lastly, we have a dataframe,
A table where data's not the same,
It shows us everything in rows and columns,
And we can sort them, even find the volumes.

So now you know these words of math,
And how they fit in data's path,
They may seem hard at first,
But with practice, they'll quench your thirst.

Reflections

1. What was the treasure hunt that the young girl went on?
2. What did the young girl learn about determination and perseverance?
3. How did the young girl feel when she finally found the lost key?
4. Do you think the young girl would have found the key if she had given up along the way? Why or why not?
5. Have you ever had to search for something that was really important to you? How did you feel when you found it?
