An Average Ad

Students used the concept of central tendencies as their focal point when they created an ad to promote a product.  So many times when we hear the word "average price", we think they are talking about the mean, when the median and mode are actually averages as well.   Class discussion following each ad addressed this and we looked at which "average" should have been used in the ad.

Talking points with your student...
1)  What is the median of a set of data?  How do you find this?
2)  How do you find the mean?
3)  The mode refers to what part of the data?

Students will be able to show what they know on the quiz next week block day!
