Were you told that you find the mean (average) of a dataset by adding the values and dividing by the number of values? Let's explore visually!
Playlist - Measures of Central Tendency
Let's tackle the average of a dataset with larger values conceptually using a series of visual prompts to promote spatial reasoning and deep understanding.
Visual math talk prompts used to help emerge the visualization and understanding of measures of central tendency: mean, median and mode.
