Data Handling and Probability · Term 2

Median: The Middle Value

Students will calculate the median of a dataset and understand its use when data contains outliers.

Key Questions

  1. Explain why the median is sometimes a better measure of central tendency than the mean.
  2. Differentiate between calculating the median for an odd versus an even number of data points.
  3. Justify the steps for finding the median of a given dataset.

5E Model

The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.

unit planner

Math Unit

Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.

rubric

Math Rubric

Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
