Reviewing FCAT Concepts

  • Mean, median, mode and range are important concepts covered on the FCAT
  • Here the students reviewed these concepts with the "Drops on a Penny" activity.
  • The students were able to compare and contrast the results of a heads-up penny and a tails-up penny with their classmates' results.
  • The students created a stem and leaf plot based on their results.
  • They also created a box and whisker plot which showed where the numbers were and where the differences were.
