What do classmates think? In groups, learners design surveys to investigate chosen topics. They conduct the survey, then analyze the results. As part of the activity, they must calculate the mean, median, mode, variance, and standard...

How many types of average are there? This video describes how to determine the mean, median, and mode of a set of numbers. Each type is worked through using one data set and the instructor shows the procedure for determining each.

Students explore measurement by measuring classmates' heads. They record their measurements and they put the measurements in order from smallest to largest. Students figure the mean, median, mode, maximum, minimum, and range of their...

In this mean and median worksheet, students examine given data and determine the measures of central tendency for the data.  Students compute the mode, mean, median, and range of data.  They create stem-and-leaf plots. ...

Show scholars the three ways to find an average: mean, median, and mode. They reference a guided example before doing these on their own. There are three sets of data and learners find the three averages for each. All...

Mean, mode, median? What's the difference? How do you find them? The teacher focuses on explaining median in this video. She gives a good explanation and shows several examples using different sets of numbers.
