The last of the presenters did their Show and Tell today. Here are a few of the images:
The students are also embarking on their last mini unit in Math for the school year. It concerns mean, median, and mode. Sometimes they are collectively known under the word "average", but we are learning that each of the terms have different meanings. Here is a photo from one of the hands-on review exercises we did before doing some work from the textbook.
The ability for the students to move the Post-it notes around allows them to see how the average for Lia's scores can remain the same even if she scores are high on one test and lower in another. For the purposes of the class, I would like them to see that "average" simply refers to data being levelled out.
In this case, Lia's average score on all four tests is 6/10.
