Mode - mooooooost popular answer (most occuring). If there are two answers that occur the same amount of times you write down both numbers. 12, 34, 65, 34, 65, 13, 12, 56, 12 Mode - 12 Mean - average of the data (numbers) 32, 22, 11, 25, 30 1) add them all up together = 120 2) divide the total by how many numbers there are - there are 5 numbers So 120 divided by 5 = 24 Median - middle number 23, 56, 11, 25, 34 1) put numbers in order and if there is an odd amout of numbers it is the middle one 11, 23, 25, 34, 56 25 - is the middle number Range - take the lowest number in the data and the highest and subtact them to find the range. 12, 45, 67, 11, 26, 43 1) order the data from lowest to greatest 11, 12, 26, 43, 45, 67 67-11=57 The range is 57 Mean, Mode, Median and Range! 10/27/2011

This is your new blog post. Click here and start typing, or drag in elements from the top bar.  The students are having a hard time with questions such as: m - 18 = 15 This is because the are following a formula where they simply subtract 18 from 15 to get what they "think" is the answer (3). However, what I am trying to have them understand is that numbers are all related when they are adding and subtracting. We drew a triangle and put the numbers 18 and 15 at the top. The bottom number is unknown. The two numbers at the top must add up to get the bottom number which is 33. The triangle represents the relationship between the numbers. 33-18 = 15, 33-15 = 18, 15+18 = 33. In short form the students need to understand that you can not take a smaller number away from a larger number. So if they see a question such as, m-18=15 they need to understand that m is larger than 18. The equal sign means "same as." For our students who can handle the concept, they are being taught that when you bring a number over from one side of the equal sign to the other it changes its sign (from + to - or from - to +). This will be taught in gr. 7 and is only being exposed to students who have a firm understanding of the concept. In the case above the -18 would move over and the question would read m = 15 + 18 Math Test on Place Value, Adding and Subtraction - Friday Sept. 28th - Homework questions! 09/27/2011

How many are from other countries?”) - determine the missing number in equations involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division of one- or two digit numbers, using a variety of tools and strategies (e.g., modelling with concrete materials, using guess and check with and without the aid of a calculator) (Sample problem: What is the missing number in the equation 8 = 88 ÷ [1]?). | Mrs. M
