A card game that provides a fun way to reinforce the knowledge of averages. The cards give students an interactive way to develop a deeper understanding of Mean, Median, Mode and Range data.
The cards in the pack are numbered from 0-12. There are 4 rounds to this game and 9 new cards are dealt out to each player each round. Players can choose whether to take their median, mean, mode or range score. However, they can only chose each one once. For example, if I have a range of 11 in the first round and choose that range, and in the next round I have a range of 12, I cannot choose the range for that round. This forces students to work out each average type at least once.
We highly recommend you allow students to use a calculator, as the random nature of the cards means divisions wont always be whole numbers. However, you can ask students to work it out manually as an extra challenge. You can also change the number of cards dealt out. For example, dealing 8 cards means students have to find the medium that appears between two cards.
Pack includes a set of 52 cards of numbers 0 to 12. Full rules of play are included, and the cards are printed with easy-cut guides to make preparation fast and simple.
