Learning how to find the Mean and create a
Bar Graph.
One class period to teach and discuss these 2
problems.
3.
Work through the math
embedded in the CTE lesson.
Define Mean-
example Mean Definition: Find the sum of the data set
values and divide by the number of data in the
set. This produces the Mean of the data Set.
-Have students produce the data from their
worksheets giving the Mean of each Category
and Age Range. Using colored groups(3
students in each group) find the Mean for your
age group.
Teacher asks students who share common
Category and Age Range to state their total
cost. Students then find the Mean of the given
values. Teacher records on board then all
students copy category & age range onto their
"Comparing Totals……" worksheet.
Teacher then asks each group: Yellow what
was your Mean for 0-3, then 9-12 months. Blue
what was your Mean for 0-3 then 9-12 and so Repeat this procedure for each Category and
on until all groups have gone. Students will write Age Range.

categories and not number ranges. The Y –
axis will be numbers that use equal intervals
-Define Bar Graphcovering the Mean values. A bar for each
Category is then drawn representing the Mean
value.
-Students will create own Double Bar Graph,
then work in groups to create large poster of the
Graph, as below.
Go over what should be on Bar Graph
-Students will get into groups according to their
color groups. Students will be given large
poster paper and markers to create their Double
Bar Graph from their "Comparing TOTALS for 3 days for Math area to here.

for Understanding" has example of a Double Bar
Graph.
-Bar Graph needs to show the following
categories: Title, constant intervals, categories
for 0-3 months & 9-12 months and a key.

Answer: 1 degree Celsius
Answer the following problem:
A student in Denver is keeping a record of the (students need to show their work)
daily low temperatures in degrees Celsius
(adding only not subtracting)
during the month of October. Her readings for
the last two weeks of the month are 5, 4, 4, 1, 7,
2, 2, 0, -1, -2, -1, -2, -3, and -2. What is the
Mean/Average low temperature for these two
weeks?
