Data Detectives

In this lesson, students will become "Data Detectives" as they investigate that a measure for the center of a numerical data set summarizes all of its values with a single number, while a measure of variation describes how its values vary with a single number. The students will utilize cooperative learning structures, hands-on learning activities and the Standards for Mathematical Practices as they delve into the world of understanding the concept of "mean" and numerical data sets.
