- p. 3Even It Out. Even out the towers so they are all the same height, then write the equal share.
- p. 4Add, Then Share. Find the total, then share it equally to find the mean.
- p. 5Mean Code. Find each mean, then find it in the code bank and write its letter.
- p. 14Mixed Review. Solve each problem, then check your work.
The standard
Describe and interpret the center of the distribution by the equal share value (mean).
Element 6.NR.2.1 of Georgia's K-12 Mathematics Standards (2021, effective SY2023-24), in the Numerical Reasoning strand. It sits under standard 6.NR.2: Apply operations with whole numbers, fractions and decimals within relevant applications.
What students practice
Students even out pictures of cube towers before any formula, then find the total and the mean of a data list. Every data value is a whole number, and every mean is a whole number or ends in .5. A self-checking page spells a word from the means.
Where to find it
Think: 4, 7, 5, and 8 add to 24; 24 shared by 4 values is 6, so the mean is 6.
