Objective
Do students learn better when related concepts are taught: Separately (Not Mixed) Simultaneously (Mixed)
Example: Should mean, median, mode, range be taught separately or simultaneously?
Can deeply affect future teaching patterns

Study
Topic: Data Analysis – Mean, Median, Mode, Range (MMMR)
Important topic; useful through school and college
Students often confused about differences in MMMR
Find best way to teach MMMR
Half of the class is taught concepts separately, other half is taught concepts simultaneously

Study
Single problem set Pre-test Study problems
Mixed: Single Mastery Learning set with mean, median, mode and range problems in random order
Not Mixed: 4 separate Mastery Learning sets, one each for mean, median, mode and range respectively
Post-test

Things you should know
Comprehensive set of problems on MMMR
Single problem set Students in neither problem set are at a
disadvantage; they learn the same concepts
May take longer than traditional problem sets; can be completed over several days
