## Task

We will be separating into groups of 5-6 per table.

### Part A: 15 minutes

Taking the following set of terms and work together to explain what each one means. Try to only spend 1 minute on each and don't worry about covering them all. Make a note of those your group resolves and those you are still struggling with.

Use flipchart paper to write down each term, with thoughts on the definition around each one.

| Terms     | Terms              | Terms           |
| --------- | ------------------ | --------------- |
| Dataset   | Pivot table        | Data science    |
| Formula   | Average            | Algorithm       |
| Big data  | Regular expression | Data protection |
| Open data | Aggregation        | Anonymisation   |
