Weighted Mean
Calculating the weighted mean for data sets where different values have different frequencies or importance.
Key Questions
- Explain when and why a weighted mean is more appropriate than a simple mean.
- Construct a method to calculate the weighted mean from a frequency table.
- Analyze how different weights affect the overall mean of a data set.

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 plannerMath 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.
rubricMath 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.
