Expanding Students' Conceptions of the Arithmetic Mean.

Meyer, Ruth Ann; And Others

School Science and Mathematics, v95 n3 p114-17 Mar 1995

Many students can calculate the arithmetic mean but do not understand the concept. The article presents four activities designed to help elementary and middle school students develop this concept. The activities presented assume previous exposure to the computational algorithm for the arithmetic mean. (Author/EK)
