Mean, median, and mode are three kinds of "averages". The "mean" is the "average" you're used to, where you add up all the numbers and then divide by the number of numbers. The "median" is the "middle" value in the list of numbers. To...

This is a virtual discussion between a mentor and student involving mean, median, and mode. Discusses when each is used and how they are found.

This applet allows the user to investigate the mean, median, and box-and-whisker plot for a set of data that they create.

This is an excellent resource on what the science of statistics involves. There are all kinds of definitions, examples, graphs, and charts to learn from. The topics covered include: mode, mean, median, skewed distributions and measures...

This tutorial discusses mean, median, and mode. It introduces the frequency table and gives several examples. A practice page is included and a teacher resource page that contains an activity using manipulatives.

When presenting an argument, the use of statistics to support a point can be very effective. This handout offers advice on both how to read statistics so that you understand exactly what they mean, and how to use them in your argument so...

At the end of this lesson, students will be able to recognize and apply the concepts of mean, median, and mode in real-life problems.

Calculate basic summary statistics for a sample or population data set including minimum, maximum, range, sum, count, mean, median, mode, standard deviation and variance.

This lesson plan introduces quartiles and box plots. It contains an activity and discussion. Supplemental activities about how students can represent data graphically are also included.

This task challenges students to demonstrate understanding of the concept of measure of center.

A tutorial to understand the three central tendencies and how to find them, as well as the standard deviation of values. Offers a discussion and practice problems.

Fourth graders will gear up to explore how to find the means, median, and modes to represent data.

Lesson plan introduces students to stem-and-leaf plots. Many resources are available for student and teachers here.
