The 3 M's: Statistics made Fun! by https://padlet.com/shifrina606/statisticsmadefun Allison Shifrin, 6th grade Mathematics Statistics and Probability en-us 2017-12-07 19:57:59 UTC 2023-03-27 15:39:56 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Rafaelo.png December 8th Weekend Activity! shifrina606 https://padlet.com/shifrina606/statisticsmadefun/wish/214680637 This weekend, we're going to have some fun with the 3 new 'M' terms that we have learned, practiced, and experimented with in class. Those three terms are: Mean, Median, and Mode. 

Today in class, we had a fun time counting the number of colors each group got of the M&M's. Now we get to do something more interesting!

Once you find your answers, write them down in your weekend journal and reflect about your answers. 

Then, combine the groups outcomes of the colors. Find the Mean, Median, and Mode for combined groups outcomes. 
(HINT: We had 5 groups of 5 people each. Each group had 10 M&M's) 

Once you are done, you can create one of the three graphs: Dot Graph, Bar Graph, or a Pie Chart. You can draw it, create it on Microsoft, etc. but make it presentable and ready to show off in front of the class on Monday! 

I have provide an example of what your charts (and answers) should look like. Have fun! ]]> 2017-12-09 04:44:30 UTC https://padlet.com/shifrina606/statisticsmadefun/wish/214681124 Group Outcomes shifrina606 https://padlet.com/shifrina606/statisticsmadefun/wish/214681399 Click on the picture to enlarge it! ]]> 2017-12-09 04:56:11 UTC https://padlet.com/shifrina606/statisticsmadefun/wish/214681399 Finding the Mean isn't 'Mean" shifrina606 https://padlet.com/shifrina606/statisticsmadefun/wish/214681434 Did you know that another word for mean is average? 
If you review your notes, you'll remember how to find the mean of a set of numbers! 
Here is a video on how to find the mean of a set of numbers! ]]> 2017-12-09 04:57:59 UTC https://padlet.com/shifrina606/statisticsmadefun/wish/214681434 M, M, and M?! shifrina606 https://padlet.com/shifrina606/statisticsmadefun/wish/214681636 Having trouble remembering the difference between Mean, Median and Mode? Think of it this way,
Mean = Average
Median = Middle Value (Med = Mid)
Mode = (MOde = Most Often)]]> 2017-12-09 05:06:59 UTC https://padlet.com/shifrina606/statisticsmadefun/wish/214681636 My Example: Mean shifrina606 https://padlet.com/shifrina606/statisticsmadefun/wish/214681703 For my example, I will collectively find the mean for the class's last name. This should help you with any problems you might be having!

Here is my example below, use it to help you find where you might be stuck, or for comparison!

Most common keyboard layouts are in the design of QWERTY. Now that just looks like a silly word right, well look down at the top row of your keyboard. It spells QWERTY, weird right?! The keyboard's home row (the middle row) was created by using the most common letters used by the most common words of the English language. So, ASDFGHJKL are the most commonly used letters. Don't you think that we would have to find the mode of all the words used in the English language? Isn't it interesting how most commonly used things that can apply to our math class? ]]> 2017-12-09 05:20:06 UTC https://padlet.com/shifrina606/statisticsmadefun/wish/214681946 My Example: Mode shifrina606 https://padlet.com/shifrina606/statisticsmadefun/wish/214681947 Finally, I have found the mode to the set of the Class's Last Names. Use this to compare with your procedures and process on how you found your mode!

Remember, you only need to do one of the graphs, you can do more if you would like to.
