1. The document provides instructions for students to collect bowling data over 10 frames, including the number of pins knocked down each frame. 2. Students are asked to analyze the data by creating a frequency chart, histogram, and calculating measures of central tendency. 3. Vocabulary words on the math word wall are circled that are needed to complete the tasks, like mean, median, mode, and frequency. Students then justify their team selections.

to complete these tasks.
Watch out, Gators! National champs
The Pender County pinheads have

this measure was effected more than the others.
