About this worksheet

What students practice

  • Students distinguish summaries of typical values from summaries of how much values differ.
  • Students interpret mean, median, range, and mean absolute deviation in gym data.
  • Students explain why a useful data report includes information about both center and variation.

How to use

Use after introducing mean, median, and range. Read the definition of mean absolute deviation together, then have students evaluate the gym's reports independently.

Curriculum

Common Core standard covered
