Get MAD! Making Decisions with Mean Absolute Deviation
,
Holiday Inn Portland, Timberline (formerly Weyerhaeuser), Lower level
Join us in exploring how to engage middle school students beyond collecting and displaying data using Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) as a decision-making tool. Data literacy has become a consequential life skill. Modeling with mathematics is essential for data-literate citizens to construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. Understanding how and why data is collected increases students’ agency by knowing they can be empowered or manipulated by data.
