“If your child looked at a set of test scores from their class, could they find the mean, the median, and the range — and explain what each one tells you about how the class did?”
Full guide and materials
- Activity. Read, write, and use the vocabulary of statistical analysis — mean, median, mode, range, frequency, data, sample, average, chart, table, graph, pie chart, scatter graph, correlation — with understanding of what each term describes
What to notice. Correctly define and calculate the mean, median, mode, and range of a small data set • Use 'outlier' correctly to identify a value that doesn't fit the pattern, and explain its effect on the mean • Use 'correlation' correctly when describing the relationship shown in a scatter graph
