Can you predict the mean of these data sets? The Mean: Share and Balance simulation allows students to explore different conceptualizations of the mean (leveled out, shared, or balanced). #CentralTendency #Mean #interactYourWay

Mean: Share and Balance allows students to explore four different conceptualizations of #mean, in four different contexts. Create, predict and modify the mean of a data set in #continuous and #discrete contexts. https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulations/mean-share-and-balance/ #AvailableInPhETStudio #CentralTendency
Mean: Share and Balance

Explore the mean by leveling cups of water, distributing candy bars, fairly sharing apples, and finding the balance point of a beam. Build a data set with a target mean. Challenge yourself to predict the mean before revealing it.

> Platonic.. emphasis in clear distinctions and.. immutable entities, leads us to view statistical.. #CentralTendency wrongly.. in our actual world of variation, shadings, and continua.. we view means and medians as the hard “realities,” and the variation that permits their calculation as a set of transient and imperfect measurements.. If.. variation around the median just a device for its calculation, the “I will probably be dead in eight months”a reasonable interpretation.

🚨👋⚽️ You will love our new sim, Center and Variability.
The sim allows students to explore mean, median, range, interquartile range and the median absolute deviation by interacting with a small dataset of distanced kicked.
Check it out, be sure to share!

Can you predict the shape of a distribution where the mean and median are equal?😄😉👍
