Always, Sometimes, Never amongst Measures of Central Tendency

Recently, I tried out the Always, Sometimes, or Never? exercise construction amongst my Algebra 1 students.  We used this equally a last-minute review earlier our quiz over finding measures of key tendency.  

I gave students this laid of xi problems.  They were allowed to dyad upwardly to function through the problems.  I laid a timer on my telephone for five minutes.  Students worked inwards pairs without whatever aid from me during these five minutes.  


After the timer went off, nosotros went through each problem.  Groups shared their initial thinking, as well as thence the disagreements started!  I dear when my students disagree inwards math degree because it way they are thinking as well as explaining their thinking.

It was awesome to run across students alter their minds equally their immature human being students shared sets of numbers that disproved their hypotheses.

I definitely desire to contain this exercise construction into my classroom on a to a greater extent than regular basis.

One of my twitter friends suggested that I ready 3 sections of the room to signify Always, Sometimes, as well as Never.  Instead of having students but say their answers, they convey to physically movement to stand upwardly inwards the department that represents their thinking.  Then, students percentage their thinking.  Students maintain to percentage their thinking until the degree comes to a consensus as well as is standing inwards the same area.  Doesn't that audio awesome?!?

I've uploaded the file for this activeness here.  The Always, Sometimes, Never statements are non original.  I establish them on page 135 of this PDF.  I volition likely modify the questions earlier using them again.  My students were quite miffed that in that place ended upwardly beingness thence many "Sometimes" equally the right answer!
