This is a discovery lesson to deepen the understanding of central tendency (mean, median) by posing relevant scenarios that students must examine and explore. It is the exploration of the salary negotiations for the Los Angeles Lakers and the use of a see-saw to physically model what the algorithm for an average truly finds. This will lead students to understand the pairing of the measures of central tendency and spread dictated by the shape of the distribution. A detailed explanation of the answers is provided with the guided discovery questions so that the teacher will be able to deepen student knowledge by eliciting the nuances of the information presented.
