Median, Mode and Range

We are continuing to review Median, Mode and Range.

As you help your child at home please remember the following:

Median - Middle Number - Numbers must be ordered from least to greatest before playing "ping-pong" to find the middle number.

Sometimes there will be 2 numbers in the middle. If that's the case then the 2 numbers will need to be added together and divided by 2 to find the median.

Mode - (MOST) - the number you see the MOST of in the set of data - again it helps to have them in order from least to greatest.

Range - (BIG - LITTLE) - the difference (subtract) between the greatest number in a set of data and the least number.

Here are a few websites that have interactive games and activities that go along with Median, Mode and Range...ENJOY!!

Have fun finding the median, mode and range of a set of data (a.k.a. numbers)!
