S \u00a0P \u00a0R \u00a0E \u00a0A \u00a0D. We started our first two classes wondering about what it means for a number to represent the central tendency of a set. Now we will explore ways to see why those kinds of numbers can’t be trusted. I have a group work task that I did last year<\/a>\u00a0which I could roll out early next week. The idea of outliers has\u00a0been\u00a0easy for kids to understand, and we talked about it briefly before break. so I will do a little review with that tomorrow. Then work through a parallel exploration of standard deviation and the IQR before a reflection on Thursday.<\/p>\n This is the first Monday of #MTBoS30, and\u00a0with that I am going to bring back my Monday “This Week” posts<\/a>. These posts provide a brief synopsis of what I’m teaching, blogging, and thinking this week.\u00a0I also have a number of posts ideas lined up that will help me keep from hitting writers block this week and through out this month. This week I plan to get in to some of the things I’ve learned from NCTM conferences in San Francisco and Minnesota. I also want to talk do some class logs from the classes I teach on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and also write up the project that I taught last cycle.<\/p>\nWhat I’m blogging this week<\/h4>\n
