Computing Mean, Mode and Median

Bring the sun to your class! Young scholars analyze actual solar wind data in the second lesson of a five-part series. Their analysis includes speed, temperature, and density data.

Statistics come front and center in this unit all about analyzing discrete data. Real-world situations yield data sets that the class then uses to tease out connections and conclusions. Beginning with the basic histogram and...

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 do you summarize data that cannot be averaged? Using an exploratory method, learners complete a two-way frequency table on super powers. The subject matter builds upon 8th grade knowledge of two-way tables. 

What makes data big? The 38th installment in the series Crash Course Statistics provides a definition of big data and its origins. It shows various methods and resources on how to collect big data and how companies use big data for a...

This video provides a reasonable explanation for blossoming mathematicians, explaining the difference between average and central tendency, as well as arithmetic mean, median, and mode. Those who haven't grasped these concepts in algebra...

Learners engage in a study of mean, median, mode, and range in order to represent data in tables. They are also exposed to the results of data that is skewed because of the outlier.

No need to nap through the lesson. Given data on the number of naps two teachers take, learners calculate the mean, median, mode, and range, and then interpret their results in terms of the context. They then see how to determine the...

The teacher gives a very thorough explanation of numerical or quantitative data being anything where the answer to a question would be a number. Whereas any other answer might be considered categorical. She shows several different ways...

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.
