  • Do your students understand why mean is a measure of center? Do they know how to do more than just calculate the mean absolute deviation (MAD)? In this workshop, participants will experience a series of hands-on activities that can be used to help students develop conceptual understanding of mean and MAD as well as how they are connected.
