Instructional Ideas
- Have class members share and explain how they determine the median and mean using the frequency table
- Provide the class with a bar graph and ask them to determine the mean and median
Classroom Considerations
- Because the task does not compare two populations or does not involve a random sampling, 6.SP.B.5 might be a better Common Core math Standard fit
Pros
- A section guides teachers on the reflection of students' performance on the assessment
- The rubric provides point values for different solutions
Cons
- None
