Mean, Median, and Mode

In this Webquest, you will be learning how to find the mean, median, and mode in real-life scenarios using the items listed within this Webquest. After this Webquest, the goal is to have a strong knowledge of mean, median, and mode and apply this skill in future situations. 

5.DS.2 You will understand and use center (mean and median) and frequency (mode) to describe a data set.

For the first task, you will be given construction paper, scissors, and glue to create your cookie. You will get to put your favorite toppings on it and create three different cookies with their unique amount of toppings. After creating the cookies, you will find the mean, median, and mode of all the toppings.

For the second task, you will be given 25 animal crackers to create your farm with and will be able to pick what animals you want on your farm. Once you do this, you will have to find the mean, median, and mode of your animals on the farm. You will have to find the mean of each species, the median of all of the animals lined up from their smallest group to their largest group, and the mode of all of the combined animals.

For the first task you will need to pick what colored construction paper that you wish to make your cookies out of.

Then, use your materials to create and design three different cookies, your imagination is the limit.

Once the last step has been completed, find the mean, median, and mode between all of your cookies.

For the second task, you will be given 25 animal crackers to create your farm with and will be able to pick what animals you want on your farm. Once you do this, you will have to find the mean, median, and mode of your animals on the farm.

For the second task you will pick out 25 animals crackers you wish to make your farm out of.

Find the mean, median, and the mode of your farm and the different animals that you have chosen.

This is the rubric that the students will be graded on

Try and find an example at home of mean median and mode that you find outside of class (how many shoes are in your house, how boxes of cereal, etc.)
