NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Democracy" - I Never Metadata I Didn't Like
In "Democracy", Charlie investigates the death of a friend. He finds columns of numbers on her computer, and because they are not labeled, he does not know what they mean. He explains, "Numbers tend to come in groups 'it's called metadata' information about data". In this activity, students will ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--democracy--i-never-metadata-i-didnt-like
