BC Math 8 Measures of Central Tendency Mini Unit, Engaging, Differentiated

This is an engaging mini unit that would work great for an in-depth look at measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode, and range) and how to choose them. The resources are well-organized and differentiated so they are accessible to a wide range of students.

Students learn:

• How to calculate mean, median, mode, and range from a data set or frequency table.
• How to choose the best measure of central tendency (mean, median, or mode) given a particular situation or data set.

Includes:

• Detailed lesson plans with warm-up suggestions
• 2 sets of comprehensive and visual scaffolded notes (with lesson video).
• 2 Sets of task cards for collaborative group work.
• 2 Individual worksheet assignments (differentiated into 3-levels)
• 2 Checkpoints with student self-assessment (can be used for review)
• 1 quiz with rubric and key
• 1 challenge assignment with extending questions (for early finishers)
• .docx and .pdf files included
• All resources are editable and come with a step-by-step key

This was originally created for the BC Math 8 redesigned curriculum in British Columbia Canada. However, all files are editable and it can be adapted to meet your students' needs.

Instructional Time:

There are lots of optional extensions included. These activities can take your class anywhere from 4 - 10 hours.
