HOW HAVE I USED THIS ITEM IN THE CLASSROOM?
I had students complete this mini lesson during our online class in Blackboard Collaborate (BBC). It was used as transition activity from what we were doing to finding the mean. After class, I posted this resource on our middle school math website so that students could access it later. Do you want to check out the .swf file posted on a website?
