Students in Mrs. Kumar's class took a hands-on approach to learning about mean, median, mode, and range!

Using a deck of cards, students generated their own data sets, worked together to organize the numbers, and calculated each measure of central tendency and range. The activity gave them a fun way to practice sorting numbers, finding patterns, and applying what they’ve learned!

Mrs. Allgood's 5th period class constructed compound-complex sentences out of the different components of the sentence type.
