You measure the height of a bean sprout every day. A sprout is a tiny new plant. Choose which days to write down. Then find one day in your notebook.

Four days of the same sprout. In the picture, Day 2 is skipped.
Step 1 of 4
  1. Four days of the same sprout. In the picture, Day 2 is skipped.
  2. Day 1 is written down: 5.0 cm.
  3. Days 3 and 4 are written. Day 2 stays empty.
  4. Day 2 is gone. It was never written.

Rule: Write each result down when you get it.

A written number stays the same. A remembered number can change without you knowing.
