Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look! You’ve stumbled upon a word – “variables” – and the dictionary gives you a clue, quite true! "Something that is variable." But what does that really mean for you? Let's think about it like this: Imagine you have a box. (Pause for effect) That box can hold different things, right? Sometimes it holds a number – let’s say five! Sometimes it holds your name - "Sarah"! And sometimes it holds the color blue! A variable is just like that box in programming. It's a named storage spot where we can put information – numbers, words, even more complicated things – and then change what’s inside it while our program is running. It’s a label for a value that might shift and flow, Like changing weather, or a seed about to grow! We give variables names so we can easily find them when we need to use their contents. Think of it like giving your box a little sign – "My Number Box," or “Sarah’s Name.” Does that make a bit more sense? Don't worry if it doesn't click immediately. We’ll be exploring variables further as we learn about different programming concepts. Now, who can give me an example of what might be stored in a variable?

Variance measures how much data differs , you see, From the average or the mean, for all eternity! It's not just about one number, a single point in time, But how scattered your numbers are, in their rhythmic chime. A low variance means things tend to stay close and near, While a high variance shows that they’re spreading far and clear! Does that make sense, my dears? Any questions you might pose? Let's discuss it further now, before the bell blows!

Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! You’ve asked about “varied,” and that’s a wonderful question to ponder. The dictionary tells us it means "diverse" or "miscellaneous," which is a good start, but let's dig a little deeper, shall we? Think of it like this: "Varied" really means different – not the same, not one and done! It describes something that has a lot of different parts, lots of different shades, or lots of different things mixed together. Let’s use an example to make it clear: Imagine a box of crayons. If you only had red crayons, that wouldn't be very varied , would it? But if you had reds, blues, greens, yellows…a whole rainbow of colors – now THAT is varied!

The dictionary is right to say it means "to change with time or a similar parameter." Let’s break that down. “Varies” means something isn’t fixed - it’s not the same all the time.

The number of students in a class varies: One day there might be twenty-five, the next day maybe twenty-two! “Parameter” is just a fancy word for something that influences how things change. Like, the weather parameter (the sun, clouds, wind) can affect whether it’s a warm or cold day. So, “varies” means something isn't constant; it has different values depending on what's happening around it. Does that make sense? Now, let’s try an example… Can anyone think of something that varies in our classroom today? (Pause for student responses - encourage them to use the word “varies” in their answers!)
