Math
Today we wrapped up Data Management with a discussion of the mean of a set of number. The mean is the rearrangement of numbers to make equal shares. For example the mean of:

 0, 5, 1, 1, 3 is 2

Why? If we think of each of those numbers as stacks of blocks, they would look like this:

To find the mean we would rearrange all the blocks so there are the same amount of blocks in each stack:

We can also calculate the mean by using a "math formula".

Find the mean of the following numbers in your math notebook:

1)  6, 7, 4, 4, 9, 3, 2, 3, 7, 4, 9

2)  32, 38, 33, 33

3) 6, 7, 8

4) 12, 14, 16

5) Create a group of four numbers that has a mode of 4 and a mean of 5.

Everyone worked really hard to complete their health assignment and complete their double bar graph. Bravo! Just a few left.

I will be conferencing with people over the next few weeks. It is essential that you self-regulate your behaviour.
