Central Tendency
Mean, median, and mode are the three measures of central tendency and something I discuss with my students, in all of my classes. Students have seen these statistical measures the most throughout their math careers. The mean is the most familiar to people because they know it's addition and subtraction. These can also be determined on a graphing calculator. Taking this class had encouraged me to examine how I can utilize the graphing calculator more in my classroom. Throughout the year we do sections on statistics within a chapter, and I would be interested to see how the students would handle utilizing the graphing calculator more. I guess we will see how it goes.

Emily,
It's great that we have someone in class who actually teaches some of this material. One of our class members (Dan) wants to know if there are any really good statistics web sites that might make good resources for students.
