• Understand what misleading data means
• Learn how to describe the shape distribution of a set of data (e.g., symmetric (bell shaped), left skewed, right skewed, uniform)
• Learn what a scale is and how it affects the shape of a set of data
• Understand graphs in the media and how they can mislead us
• Understand the importance of being aware of how graphs can mislead us
• Learn how to create a digital graph (included in the activity section)

Practice: "Would You Rather" prompts for your math centers, where students will analyze graphs to answer the question of "Would you rather use this graph or this one to ...." (insert 8 different scenarios here). Deep thinking and fun put together.

Digital - Use the drag and drop circles and text boxes to answer

Printable - Circle and complete on printed copy

Apply: Includes 3 activities to complete (digital and printable versions included)

• Choice of 3 different analyzing graphs activities
• Creating misleading graphs activity (on Google Sheets or Grid paper)
• Graphs in the media activity

Real life learning at its best!

Lesson and Activity Set # 5

Measures of Central Tendency

(Digital and Printable)

Learn: Guide your students through learning by using this lesson with digital transitions for step by step learning using the Canadian Census as data examples

• Measures of spread (range) - What it is and how to find it
• Measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) - What it is and how to find it
• Describing graphs
• Explaining what the census is
• What does the data mean?
• Analyzing data examples
• Comparing data examples

This product will be updated and used as a source of comparison, when the new data is available. 

Practice: After all of that deep learning, it is time for a fun hands-on math activity. Get your students up and moving with 6 different data collection choices.

• Cup Stacking
• Bottle Flipping
• Oreo Cookie Tower
• Squat Challenge
• Card Sort
• Double Dice Roll

Students will complete two rounds of data collection, calculate the measures of spread and central tendency, compare and explain what this data means. 

Self Assess and Apply: Now it’s the students turn to analyze some census data. They will choose from 3 levels of graph sets to calculate, analyze and compare.

• I’m still learning, but I will give it a try
• I’ve got this
• I am here for a challenge

Assess student’s understanding of not only mean, median, mode and range, but also their understanding of their own learning (metacognition).
