Candy Colors: Figuring the Mean, Median, and Mode

Statistics are more than just numbers—they can give you important information about a set of data. Pupils learn how to find the mean, median, and mode of a data set. They also find the next score to reach a desired mean.

If you teach fifth or sixth grade math and want your class to practice mean, median and mode, this worksheet may prove useful. It outlines the process for solving the problem (understand, plan, solve, look back) and includes 3 questions...

Three days of race car design and driving through the classroom while guessing probability could be a third graders dream. Learn to record car speed, distances traveled, and statistics by using calculation ranges using the mean, median,...

A good explanation for blossoming mathematicians, this video explains the difference between average and central tendency, as well as arithmetic mean, median, and mode. Those who haven't grasped these concepts in algebra or those who are...

If you have two feet, you have more than the average number of feet! Explore the meaning of the numbers of measures of central tendency of different data sets with the third of five lessons in a video statistics playlist. Using unique...

What number can video game players use to see who is the best player? Help learners recognize the measure of center for a set of data points and the measure of variance. The first video in a series of three starts by cuing students on...

Build upon and stack up data to get the complete picture. Using the applet, pupils build bar graphs. As the bar graph builds, the interactive graphically displays the mean, median, and mode. Learners finish by exploring the changes in...

How many trees should we plant? Using an interactive as a manipulative, individuals find the mean, median, and mode for sets of data. They determine the number of trees to plant in each plot of land to reach a statistical goal.

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.
