  • Understanding and applying the measures of central tendency
    		•

    		Before the Activity

  • See the attached PDF file for detailed instructions for this activity.
  • Print pages 18-20 from the attached PDF file for your class


    		• During the Activity

    		Students will:
  • Learn to make sense of data by using the three measures of central tendency mean, median, and mode. They will use the calculator to find the mean of a set of data.

    		After the Activity
