What We Did Today:
Students continued 2.1. Students explore different ways to describe the average number of people in six households. The mean is introduced through a visual model using cubes. This model is connected to representing data using horizontal ordered-value bar graphs and dot plots. Notes are available below. Click here for a helpful video on mean, median and mode.
Focus Question:
How do you go about finding a number that is a good estimate of typical household size based on the given data?
