About the store
Differentiation equals success for all. Not every student learns at the same rate and has the same abilities. Learning can occur at many different levels, and it is vital that all students grow as critical thinkers, problem solvers, and learners. I offer different levels of tasks and assessments to ensure success for all students and make myself available to help in any way possible. I will continue to research and create new and better ways of allowing my students to reach their full potential and am always seeking innovative ways to help students succeed in my classroom. Not only do I want them to be successful, but I want them to enjoy learning along the way. I model the importance of education by constantly furthering my education as well. I am proud to have earned a marketing degree, an early childhood education degree, a middle grades education degree, a master’s degree in early childhood education, a specialist degree in curriculum and instruction, and my gifted endorsement.

Central Tendency & Box Plots Centers with Mean Absolute Deviation

This is a collection of centers that I created for review. There are five central tendency centers, five box plots centers, and five mean absolute deviation centers. Each card has several questions that require calculations and analyzing information. I printed them out on card stock paper and made cards out of them with the answers on the back of each card. This is a great way to review these concepts.
