LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Apply the method to find the mean from grouped table of data

SUCCESS CRITERIA: You will be able to find the mean from a grouped frequency table

STARTER: Put screen 6 on IWB from this MyMthas Lesson (discrete data) and ask students to work out the mean

Work through answer with them after giving them some time to complete it.

IF ANY Issues use next screen for a further example.

LESSON: Work through the first screen of this Mymaths lesson to show how to find the mean from a grouped frequency table of continous data. Hand out grids in order to complete the mean for teh boys data

PLENARY: Use MyMthas screen to check data.

Let them work through next example on sheet 'Nicole's Cucumbers'. Check answers.

Repeat Nicole's Cucumbers on IWB as MyMaths generates a new example every view.
