We have been using YES/NO questions to separate information.
First, we played a 'Guess Who?' game with our partners to try to guess which person they had chosen. We used lots of different questions but our challenge was to find the 'perfect' question each time to eliminate half the people on each turn.
Next, we created a chart or 'binary tree' to show which questions led to each person.
Then, we used a branching database to find the names of each person. We could only answer Yes or No to each of the questions.
Is the person male? NO
Is she wearing a headscarf? NO
Is she wearing white socks? NO
Is she wearing a sweater? YES
It is MOLLY
Is the person male? YES
Does he have ginger hair? YES
Is he wearing shorts? YES
It is JASPER
Finally, we searched a database to answer more complex questions.
