Bubble Gum Mean, Median, Mode and Range by https://padlet.com/karen7807/cfhmgy497afe Math Activity en-us 2017-12-10 18:42:08 UTC 2025-11-04 09:15:32 UTC hello@padlet.com Begin Here! karen7807 https://padlet.com/karen7807/cfhmgy497afe/wish/214836077 Today we are breaking all the rules! How you ask? By giving our jaws a workout and chewing bubble gum. We will be reviewing mean, medium, mode and range by collecting data on ones ability to blow bubbles. So get ready to put your thinking caps on and show us your best bubble skills!]]> 2017-12-10 18:46:29 UTC https://padlet.com/karen7807/cfhmgy497afe/wish/214836077 Step One... karen7807 https://padlet.com/karen7807/cfhmgy497afe/wish/214837877 Lets take a moment to review our definition of terms.
What is MEAN? Mean is the "average". If your recall, this is where we add all the numbers and divide by the total number of numbers.
What is Median? Median is the "middle" number. If numbers are listed from smallest to largest, the middle number is what we refer to as the median.
What is Mode? Mode is the number most often "repeated."
Lastly, what is Range? The range is the "difference" between the largest and smallest number. The easiest way to determine the range is to subtract the smallest number from the largest number. ]]> 2017-12-10 19:00:06 UTC https://padlet.com/karen7807/cfhmgy497afe/wish/214837877 Step Two... karen7807 https://padlet.com/karen7807/cfhmgy497afe/wish/214838799 Please be sure to take note of the needed supplies and be sure to follow the directions listed below.

To complete the activity, you will need a pencil, scratch paper, a piece of gum, a stop watch and the per-printed sheet given to you by Mrs. Dailey. For those of you with braces, you will need to grab a bottle of bubbles to substitute in place of gum.

To begin, unwrap your piece of gum and start chewing! You will be given two minutes to blow as many bubbles as you can. On your scratch piece of paper, you will write a tally mark for all bubbles blown. You may count the bubble even if it pops immediately. When your two minutes are up please add your tally's and be ready to report your number when called upon.

You will now calculate the mean, medium, mode and range with the data provided by your classmates. Please use the per-printed sheet given to you to complete this portion of the activity. If you have misplaced your sheet, please see a copy titled "Copy of the per-printed sheet."

And the answer is, daily. From averaging temperatures of our vacation destination, to the median score of our latest history test, to determining crime rates in our neighborhoods. We are presented with information on a daily basis, information that can be converted into statistical data, as previously mentioned. Can you think of other examples in which you might employ the use of mean, median or mode in your daily life]]> 2017-12-10 19:41:39 UTC https://padlet.com/karen7807/cfhmgy497afe/wish/214843543 karen7807 https://padlet.com/karen7807/cfhmgy497afe/wish/214845099

It is important we know the history and prior applications of a process in order to better understand it's current applications. Knowing the history and the obstacles that people faced in the past, can serve as a guide or inspiration for the obstacles and challenges you may be faced with. According to Hacking and Rubin, here are some historical examples of when estimation was first used:
An old Indian story tells of a man counting the leaves and fruit on two large branches of a fruiting tree to determine if there would be enough food to feed his family. Estimation has also been used in an attempt to determine the number of generations between the first King of Egypt and the last King. Lastly, the Athenians calculated the number of ladders needed to scale the enemy's walls.
These are just a few examples of how estimation also known as "mean" or average has been used in history.

You can expect to see this again on your bench mark exams as well as the AZMERIT. It corresponds with the standard 6.SP.A.3 Recognize that a measure of center for a numerical data set summarizes all of its values with a single number, while a measure of variation uses a single number to describe the spread of the data set.
It is imperative that you make good use of your time and ask questions if you are unsure of something or need additional help. ]]> 2017-12-13 20:03:45 UTC https://padlet.com/karen7807/cfhmgy497afe/wish/215970037
