Lesson Preview

Lesson Title	Measures of Central Tendency
Unit Title	Math Overview for Healthcare
NRS Level	Level 3
Length of Lesson	60 minutes

Lesson Purpose

The purpose of this lesson is to introduce students to central measures of central tendency, which will help them understand the different ways we can analyze a data set. This will prepare them for deeper statistical analysis that may come in other healthcare classes or settings.

Lesson Objectives

At the end of this lesson, students will be able to:

Find mean, median, mode, and range of a data set

Student Target

“I can find the measures of central tendency in a data set.”
