Crash Course: Mean, Median, and Mode (Central Tendencies)
This is a one-day crash course on how to find mean, median, mode, and mid-range when given a set of data. We will look our data that is normally distributed as well as data with outliers in order to find trends and make predication about the data. We will also look at the data in real life applications. It is designed for students who have been taught the objectives but didn't understand or need a refresher on the concept.

The student will be given a printable workbook. The workbook will feature an in-class section and a practice (optional) section to do after the class is over. Answers will be given for all sections.

The following math concepts will be discussed:
How to find mean given a set data
How to find median given a set of data
How to find mode given a set of data
How to find the mid-range of a set of data
how to identify which central tendency to use given a real-life application
How to identify normally distributed data
How to identify outliers and verbally explain what effect it has on the real-life application of the data

The class will be one day only and will be one hour and 15 minutes long.

Before this class students should know how to:
Perform operations with whole numbers
Perform operations with decimals
Perform operations with fractions
Order numbers on a number line
graph numbers on a number line

All materials will be provided.

No grades or assessments will be performed in this course.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
From August of 2014 till June 2018 I worked as an adjunct math instructor and the program coordinator of the learning lab at Southern WV Community and Technical College. As the program coordinator of the learning labs I saw a lot of student who had been taught to memorize math instead of discover math. My experience not only as a math instructor, but as a radio engineer and data analysts has led me to the belief that math is best learned through skill building, discussion, and discovery. 
I decided that I wanted to work with students starting in Pre-algebra, Algebra one, and Geometry. Currently I teach the following classes: (Make sure to scroll to the end to find out about office hours)
Pre-Algebra Year one:
Discovering Pre-Algebra Part one
In this class we will discover the organization and purpose of order of operations. How to perform order of operations with different types of rational numbers (exponents, square roots, decimals, fractions, integers, absolute value).
Discovering Pre-Algebra Part two
In this class we will discover proportional thinking and how it applies to different ideas in math (unit rates, unit conversions problems, discounts, tax, gratuity, markup’s, markdown’s, late fees, similar figures). We will also look at simple interest.
Discovering Pre-algebra Part three
In this class we will discover statistics and how to collect (Mean, median, mode, mid-range), display (box plots, stem and leaf, histograms, circle graph, and more), and interpret data (Venn diagram, tree diagram, Probability, and odds).

Pre-Algebra Year two
Discovering Pre-Algebra Part four
In this class we will discover the basics of Algebra (combining like terms, one and two step equations, one variable inequalities, absolute value equations, basics of exponents and radicals, scientific notation)
Discovering Pre-Algebra part five
In this class we will discover basic geometry skills for 2-d and 3-d shapes.
Discovering Pre-Algebra Part six
In this class we will discover graphing and linear equations.
Algebra one:
Discovering Algebra one: Part 1
Discovering Expression, Equations, Inequalities, linear equations and mathematical reasoning.

Discovering Algebra One Part 2
Shifting and reflecting Linear equations, Function families, domain and range, systems of equations and inequalities.
Discovering Algebra One Part 3
Discover the rules and properties of exponents and radicals. How to apply the Pythagorean Theorem and is converse to real life situation.

Discovering Algebra One Part 4
In the class you will work with polynomials, factoring and quadratic equations.

I love math and I hope that your learner finds my love for math infectious!

******* On Thursday, Friday and Saturday I have another job (well I babysit my grand babies) if you email during one of these days I may not be able to get back to you until Sunday or Monday.
