Participants will learn three hands-on approaches to finding the mean of small data sets. The leveling-of-the-data interpretation derives the familiar formula, whereas variations of the balance-point interpretation develop properties of the mean. Come see how see-saws, number lines, and blocks help your students make sense of the mean.
