MATH Monday: Central Tendency of College Costs

This week on NGPF's MATH Monday, we'll take a look at how to calculate the MEAN, MEDIAN, and MODE with college costs! Educators can brush up their own math skills or use these resources with their students.

  1. View the MATH Collection: In this activity, students will learn about how much college expenses can add up and calculate the measures of central tendency for college costs. Check it out in MATH: Central Tendency of College Costs.
  2. Formula of the Day: Students can use the definitions below to find the mean, median, and mode of a data set. 

3. Watch the EdPuzzle Video: Your students can also watch this EdPuzzle video for an interactive introduction!

4. For Your Learning: Join Abby for Virtual PD on Wednesday 3pm PT as she reviews MATH Collection Skills: Order of Operations (Intermediate).
