SYNTHESIS FOR STUDENT UNDERSTANDING

In the previous section, we looked at different problems about the measures of position.
Let us put together in the table below our answers to the essential question that we asked for each problem.

PROCESS QUESTIONS:

1. Compare your answer in the three problems. What do all the situations have in common?
2. Is the method in solving each problem the same? Why?
3. Is there any other way to solve the problem? If yes, cite examples.
4. What generalization can you make out of these situations?
