This PowerPoint explains what mean absolute deviation is and how to find it. Gives some easy practice sets for students. I created this while teaching 6th grade mathematics to help my students understand the concept. My district required me to introduce the topic, and wanted students to have a general understanding of how to find the mean absolute deviation, so the PowerPoint does not go too deep.
