Description
Mean absolute deviation notes are engaging and easy to follow with this note-taking math wheel format. Introduce or review how to find the mean absolute deviation of a data set with this math wheel for notes and practice!
- Students take notes, use color to help with memory, and complete practice problems found around the wheel.
What is a math doodle wheel? A math doodle wheel is a type of graphic organizer where students can:
- Take notes inside the math wheel
- Use color, drawing, and doodling to help create memory triggers
- Complete practice problems in the pattern around the wheel, and
- Color the background pattern
Students can keep these graphic organizers in their interactive notebooks all year as a resource/study tool.
- The wheels are excellent for reviewing concepts as part of your test prep.
Each section of the mean absolute deviation wheel outlines a step of the process:
1) Find the mean of the data set
2) Find the difference between each data value and the mean
3) Find the mean of the differences
This easy-prep resource includes:
1) THREE versions of the student wheel
- ‘Open’ for students to write notes - this version is most flexible, space-wise
- ‘Fill-in’ notes, to help control student use of space
- Pre-filled notes; answers to examples and practice problems are NOT on this version
⭐️Each version comes with a patterned background and with no pattern in the background.
2) Teacher key/wheel with completed notes and examples
3) Colored sample of wheel
4) PowerPoint file with two editable templates, so you can add text to make your own wheels (for classroom use only - not commercial use).
Features of this mean absolute deviation resource:
1) Notes and examples in each section: there’s one example that is worked through as you go through each step/section
2) Guided or independent practice: There are 6 data sets in the pattern around the circle, for students to practice finding mean absolute deviation.
- These data sets only have 3 or 4 numbers so the work doesn’t get too lengthy
- Some of the means are decimals, so if your students aren’t comfortable working with decimals, they’d need to use a calculator.
- Some of the mean absolute deviations are repeating decimals, so you’ll need to direct students to round their answers to the nearest tenth or hundredth (answer key has them rounded to the nearest tenth).
3) Coloring/doodling opportunity: students can color the background pattern, as well as the headings and doodle arrows
Coloring the background, if you use the patterned versions:
- Students don’t HAVE to color at all during instructional time….coloring the background could be an ‘early finisher’ activity, center activity, homework, etc.
- Students don’t need to color every section of the background – part of their coloring pattern could be to leave sections white.
- Students could color sections with patterns instead of solids – maybe polka dots in one section and squiggly lines in another.
- This coloring part is just a chance to be creative and enjoy the stress-relief coloring can provide.
What teachers are saying about this resource:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “This helped so much! We were struggling with these concepts and was so excited to find this! This helped so much!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “MAD was a hard concept for my students, but I loved how this broke it apart and had practice on the same sheet.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I have so many of these, I should have just bought the bundle. I didn't know my students would like them so much!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “This was a great resource and provided my 6th graders with the steps necessary to compute Mean Absolute Deviation! I was able to use the blank wheel provided to create an Interquartile Range wheel. Definitely recommend!”
This resource is part of the 6th Grade Math Wheel bundle.
