Instructional Ideas

• Provide calculators for learners that need extra support or as a way for them to check their work
• Give as homework or class work during the week of Halloween

Classroom Considerations

• Presumes class members are familiar with finding mean, median, range, and mode
• Distribute notebook paper, as there is limited space on the worksheet to solve the problems 

Pros

• The four-page packet includes 16 questions and an answer key
• Number values in the data sets increase as learners progress through the sheet

Cons

• Limited space for calculating values
