Mean, Median, Mode, & Range

Author: Staci Stephens

Day 1 - In Class

Create foldable to organize information about mean, median, mode, and range. 

This foldable was created in class, but if you were absent or lost your foldable.  Use the directions below to create the foldable before viewing videos and taking notes. 

 

Step 1 - The corners of a sheet of paper are folded up to meet the opposite sides and the top is cut off, making a square sheet of paper with diagonal creases. 

Step 2 - The four corners of the square are folded into the center.

Step 3- Label each of the four sections with our four vocabulary words: Mean, Median, Mode, Range. 

 

 

Day 1 - Homework

As you watch the video fill in notes on the foldable created in class.  After each section, pause the video and make sure you have notes recorded for each of our four words: mean, median, mode, range.

Day 3 - Homework

Watch the videos posted below.  In each video, I am working the video as a student and make some type of mistake.  Oops!  Write down when I make a mistake, what I've done wrong, and how you would help me fix it.  Be prepared to discuss these ideas with your table groups at the beginning of class tomorrow. I have included a PDF document you can use to organize your thoughts/ideas if needed.
