Instructional Ideas

• Cut out problem and answer squares to use as individual exit tickets
• Allow learners to work on the pages independently or in small groups to obtain additional help from their peers 
• Invite early finishers to create a new set of numbers and find the central tendency

Classroom Considerations

• The worksheet is the third of six resources in a series that provides substitute lessons for a sixth grade class 
• The answer sheet requires additional copies if all eight problems are assigned at once 
• Pupils should be familiar with central tendency and how to solve such problems independently    

Pros

• Problem pages have bright, graphic backgrounds
• Clear and well-organized layout of problems and answer sheet 

Cons

• None
