Students engage in experiences involving the mathematical concept of averages. After watching a video, students explore averaging through a variety of different methods.

Learners determine the average of a given set of numbers. In this finding averages lesson plan, students are shown how to find the average. Learners then do guided problems then independent practice.

Young scholars calculate the mean. In this lesson plan on averages, students watch a video on athletes and averages and complete a worksheet. This lesson plan emphasizes mean as the "fair share measure of center".

In this statistics lesson, learners use an on-line form generator create a class-specific form, then complete the form, view a graph and data analysis, and draw conclusions.

In this mathematics worksheet, 6th graders find the mean of a given set of numbers. Then they find the sum of the items in the set. Students also check their work by multiplying the mean by the number of items in the set.

Fifth graders explore the world of statistics by finding averages.  In this math formula lesson, 5th graders define the terms mean, median and mode while discussing the differences.  Students practice finding the different...

The concept of slope gets an approachable, yet theoretical, treatment in a comprehensive algebra lesson. The use of functional notation and problem-solving techniques keep the material rigorous, but detailed teaching notes and lots of...

For this math worksheet, students will work with a coach to find the average of three bowling scores. Students will follow a step-by-step process and notes are provided for the coach.

Explore linear functions! In this Algebra I lesson, mathematicians graph data in a scatter plot and use a graphing calculator to find a linear regression and/or a median-median line. They use the model to make predictions.

Upper grade and middle schoolers explore mathematics by participating in a measuring activity. They hypothesize on what the average height of a male or female 6th grader is and identify ways to find the average mathematically. Learners...

Students review basic math skills, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, finding averages, and working with percentages. They see how these skills apply to real life situations.

Learners investigate average rates of change for linear functions and connect the concept to slope. They then determine average rates of change in quadratic and exponential functions.

Students calculate averages. In this average temperature lesson, students collect data and use their problem solving skills to calculate average temperatures.

What is it worth to you? A hands-on lesson asks groups to collect weights of different combinations of coins and calculate weighted averages. They use the analysis to understand the concept of an isotope to finish the third lesson in a...

Sixth graders explore the concept of mean, median, mode, and range. In this mean, median, mode, and range lesson, 6th graders work in groups to find the mean, median, mode, and range of their heights, distance from home to school, time...

In this average and permutation worksheet, students read story problems and write equations to determine annual income, the sum of a sequence, averages, and permutation problems. This two-page worksheet contains eight problems.

Fifth graders use data from an Excel document to analyze and predict trends in batting averages.

If Shaquille O'Neal wears a size-20 shoe, how big are his hands? Learners will use the average ratios of foot length to hand span to calculate the hand span of Shaq, but first, they have to collect the data! They will...

Upper grade and middle schoolers collect data, analyze and interpret the data. This three-part lesson should provide learners with a firm understanding about the differences between mean, median, and mode and how to perform the...

Work it out — find the average time clients spend at a gym. Pupils use a table of random digits to collect a sample of times fitness buffs are working out. The scholars use their random sample to calculate an estimate of the mean of the...

Lead your class on a search for precious bones. Using a presentation, the class investigates the golden ratio in art and nature. Groups of pupils measure specific bones and find the average ratio for the class. To further cement the...

Middle schoolers have problems in the lesson where they need to find the average of a set of numbers. As a class, they work a few problems and then independently complete a worksheet practicing their new skill.

Learners study about the most widely reported stock market indicator by the news media, the Dow or DJIA, short for Dow Jones Industrial Average. They complete a table that divides these 30 companies into different industry groups.

What a find! Here is a lesson, designed to meet sixth grade math Common Core standards, that focuses on the calculation of different measures of center for the scores from a penalty shoot-out competition. An independent...
