WorksheetsWhat this unit covers
Leveling several numbers into a single one is the idea here. Beyond the basic move of totaling from a table and dividing by the count, the unit covers recovering the total from an average and a count, and finding the average once two groups are combined, both with a table to work from and without one.
When combining two groups, averaging the two averages again is the most frequent error. Writing (8 + 6) ÷ 2 when the groups differ in size is this pattern. Children also leave days with a value of 0 out of the count, so they divide by one less than they should.
Data organized in Line Graphs and Tables in grade 4 is looked at again here through a new idea, the average, dividing a total by a count to collapse it into one number. Handling the averages of two groups together this way leads into grade 6, when Investigating Data compares several such representative values at once.
