Mean, Median & Mode

40 min Grade 6 Math Lab: The Physics of Algebra

Learning Objectives

  • Calculate measures of center
  • Choose the best measure
  • Interpret data

Key Concepts

Mean

Sum of values ÷ number of values

Median

Middle value when data is ordered

Mode

Most frequent value

Theory

**Mean (Average):** Add all values, divide by count. **Median:** Sort data, find the middle. If even count, average the two middle values. **Mode:** Value that appears most often (can be more than one). **When to use:** - Mean: No extreme outliers - Median: Skewed data or outliers - Mode: Categorical data

Examples

Find mean, median, mode of: 2, 3, 3, 5, 7

Solution: Mean = 4, Median = 3, Mode = 3
