Median, Mode, Range
BingoI had students in small groups rotating into my game
group. The game was a review about median, mode or range. Students had a spinner that would land on either median mode or range. From there, they would pick five numbers for their data set from a random deck of numbers. Afterwards, they found either the median, mode, or range depending on what they spun. Students needed to consult with their team members to see if they got the answer right. If the answer was right, they could mark off either a median, mode, or range on their bingo board.
Explanation of
Misconceptions
At the beginning, before the game started, I had
students review with me what the median, mode,
and range were in order to help them with any
common misconceptions during the game. They
were also taught certain symbols and hand
motions to help them memorize what each word
means in which I utilized them in the video.
Conception of
the Equal Sign
After reading this file, I was able to see a wide range of answers
and conceptions about the equal sign at different levels of
students. From here, I was able to think like an elementary
school student and put myself on their levels. I was also able to see that children in the same
class learn at different rates and therefore their perceptions of a concept can be misconstrued at
all different levels.

This internet site offers a variety
of many types of
misconceptions in math. When
clicked, the PDF file offers
different models and
representations and even types
of manipulatives to show
children in order for them to
work through the misconception
and create a conceptual
understanding of the problem
Cont.To the right of the article’s
introduction, there was a list of subheadings within this article that
I read. These subheadings included how to question students to understand their thinking, what
should we do and don’t do as educators in order to comprehend their understanding, how to assess how students are arriving at their
answers, etc. It offered many great tips that I have used and will
continue to use in order to guide my learners to a conceptual
understanding.
