Description
6.SP.5 This is a fantastic, easy to use activity to help students not only learn how to compute the mean absolute deviation, but also UNDERSTAND what it means.
The first page contains step by step instructions for computing the mean absolute deviation. It is followed by three examples of quiz scores - one with no variability, one with moderate variability, and one with extreme variability. Finally, students are asked to create a line plot for each set of data. This helps students to visualize the variability.

This was helpful to help students understand MAD. They were engaged while completing the activity.
My 7th grade math students loved this resource! It was very helpful for them as they made their way through the 7th grade curriculum.
My students found this a valuable resource and it was easy to incorporate into my curriculum!
I used this activity to give the students ex credit .... it's a fantastic practice page.
Amazing resource to assist students in learning about Mean Absolute Deviation.
I really appreciate the way each part of this activity is laid out. It will help students keep their own work organized. Thank you!
