Day 106: Median, Mode, and Range / Equivalent Ratios / Median, Mode, and Range

Today in Math 6: 1 & 3°, students continued their work with measures of center.  Mr. Giomini also introduced range which is a measure of spread or variability.  Students were provided different data sets and had to make decisions as to how the measures of center or spread were affected due to a piece of data being either added or removed from the data set.

During Math 6 - 2°, students worked with Lesson 9.3: Equivalent Ratios.  In this lesson, students extended their knowledge of multiplication and division to generate equivalent ratios, which they analyzed in a table.  
  

Students in Math 6+ continued their work with measures of center.  Mr. Giomini also introduced range which is a measure of spread or variability.  Students were provided different data sets and had to make decisions as to how the measures of center or spread were affected due to a piece of data being either added or removed from the data set.

Today's Learning Target(s): The student will be able to...

1. understand ratio concepts and use ratio reasoning to solve problems. (2°)
2. use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems. (2°)
3. recognize that a measure of center for a numerical data set summarizes all of its values with a single number. (1, 3, & 7°)
4. describe how a measure of variation describes how its values vary with a single number. (1, 3, and 7°)
