Starting statistics - mean, median, mode and range

For the first 5 weeks of this term we are learning about statistics. 

First we had to see what our learning goals are for this unit

For year 7-8's our goals are

The firs thing we learnt how to do was to find the mean, median, mode and range of a data set.

On Tuesday we just did 5 examples as it was our first time and we had a lot to learn. Some people found it very hard to add up all the numbers and divide them. 

On Thursday we did 10 more practises with different data sets.

It was awesome to see some students being able to do long division completely by themselves in order to figure out the mean (average).
