Description
Are your students STRUGGLING with MEAN, MEDIAN, MODE & RANGE?
Are you trying to identify areas of weakness with these essential math skills?
Quickly assess each student’s understanding of these critical concepts!!
Address those deficiencies using EASEL -- duplicate & revise the EASEL template to build those skills!
We have regrouped exercises from our popular math warm-ups to produce this Snapshot of Students’ Essential Skills in MEAN, MEDIAN, MODE & RANGE using the capabilities of TpT’s EASEL!! This product focuses on the critical math concepts of CENTER & SPREAD. You will be purchasing 10 problems (see description below), each offered as an EASEL Assessment and as an EASEL Activity. This provides you with the ability to fully customize each problem for your students or to generate similar additional problems focused on one specific math skill. The PDF document, which offers each exercise on its own individual page, also provides detailed, easy-to-understand solutions to each question.
These multiple choice problems can be used to quickly assess students’ math skills and understanding of specific concepts, providing you with the information needed to address areas of weakness and to reteach or reinforce essential skills (self-checking features provided by EASEL). These exercises can also be used to diagnose possible reasons for a student’s lack of progress in mathematics by exposing missing skills, fundamental math errors, or a lack of proficiency with the basics. This product could be used to evaluate students’ basic knowledge of mean, median, mode and range in Grades 5 or 6 math, PreAlgebra, Algebra, or any high school math course.
This product includes the following types of problems:
Problem 1: Find the mean given a table (average daily balance).
Problem 2: Find the median given a list of numbers.
Problem 3: Find the mode from a stem-and-leaf plot.
Problem 4: Find the range from a set of data.
Problem 5: Find the median from a bar graph.
Problem 6: Find the mean from a line plot (dot plot).
Problem 7: Find the range from a box plot (box-and-whisker plot).
Problem 8: Find the median from a stem-and-leaf plot.
Problem 9: Compare the concepts of mean, median, mode & range in a problem situation.
Problem 10: Compare the mean, median & mode from a dot plot (line plot).
Key features of this Math Momentum Snapshot problem set:
- Each exercise is available in an EASEL Assessment, in an EASEL Activity, and as a single page in PDF format.
- All problems can be customized using the special EASEL capabilities provided by Teachers Pay Teachers.
