Differentiated Lesson Plan: Mean, Median, and Mode by Rich Miller III Subject: Central Tendency/Statistics (Mean, Median, and Mode) th Grade: 7 Standards: 7.S.1, 7.S.3, 7.S.4, 7.S.6, 7.S.7 Hook: 1. Playing Jeopardy in groups, boys versus girls. A fun way to get them going. Definitely not something that would we would do very often in order to keep it unique and more of a special activity. 2. Bringing in a guest speaker, a mathematician or someone from the real world who works with statistics (i.e. the business world). I never remember having a guest speaker in math class, and hearing another voice when they have to hear yours 180 days a year is refreshing. Speaker will be directly related with the topic at hand. Essential Questions: • What are the measures of central tendency? • What are their definitions? • How do you calculate them (steps involved)? • How do they relate to real life? • How can they be used in or with real life numbers? Pre-Assessment: Worksheet included, Journal entries from the students
