Calculating and interpreting the mean for ungrouped and grouped data.
Key Questions
- Which measure of central tendency is most affected by extreme outliers?
- Explain how to calculate the estimated mean for grouped data.
- Analyze scenarios where the mean might not be the best representation of data.

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.
