Sixth graders create and use a spreadsheet to make graphs which will be used to analyze Progress Report and Final Report Card grades. They practice finding the mean, median, mode, and range of a data set. Students also incorporate column...

Fifth graders are introduced to convergence of sequences based on averaging previous terms in the sequence. The power of the "fill-down" function in spreadsheets is exploited. By using various starting numbers, and inferring the limit,...

Students explore the concepts of mean and variance. They observe properties of materials to their basic atomic or molecular structure. Students use spreadsheet software to record, tabulate and analyze collected information.

Vocabulary and meaning of the terms will be introduced and discussed. Students work in groups of 4-5 students to find mean, median, and range of the group's ages. Each group will create a word problem and present it to the class.

Fifth graders are introduced to the topic of means. Calculating the mean, mode and median, they describe what each set of numbers tell and do not tell about the data. They use a line graph to practice finding the mean. They also use...

Students enter data regarding the height of classmates into a spreadsheet. Formulas will also be entered to find the median, mean, and mode of the data.

Students investigate quadratic functions graphically and algebraically.

Learners monitor weather conditions for an eighteen day period at a specific location. The temperature of both air and water is taken and the mean, median, and mode calculated. Differences between the highest and lowest recordings are made.

Twelfth graders find the mean, median, and modes of stacks of Lego blocks, They search in newspapers for real life applications of them. They present oral reports on what they have learned.

Sixth graders explore the concept of averaging of numbers and the function of a spreadsheet. Data is collected, analyzed, and displayed in this lesson. The NASCAR race results provides the basis for the collection of data.

Students collect, organize, and compare different data and develop statistical methods such as: average, median, mode and range as a way for decision making by constructing table

Young scholars research data and develop statistical methods such as mean and median price and make convincing arguments as powerful ways for decision making.

Third graders take notes on a PowerPoint presentation featuring calculating and analyzing data. They practice skills highlighted in the presentation and create a table in Microsoft Excel showing data analysis.

Third graders measure each other's height and find the mean, median, and mode for the height of students in their class. They line up tallest to shortest and discuss the most appropriate measure of central tendency for the class.
