  1. Working With Data Mode, Median, Range and Mean

  2. Data Data are numbers that you collect that tell you something…like in a survey… • How many televisions are in your house? • How many pairs of sneakers do you have? • How many brothers/sisters do you have? • How many bowls of ice cream can you eat at night?

  3. After you collect your data… You want to ANALYZE it. That’s what we do when we find the mode, median, mean and range of data!

  4. HINT, HINT!! When working with data… ALWAYS PUT YOUR NUMBERS IN ORDER FIRST!! 5, 8, 2, 10, 3, 6, 7, 8 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 10

  5. Mode MODE is the number shown the MOSTin a set of data; or occurs MOST often 2, 4, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10 The mode is 4.

  6. Practice with Mode! The test scores of 9 fifth grade students are listed below. Find the mode. 82,  92,  75 ,  91,  92,  89,  95,  100,  86 Don’t forget to put your numbers in order! It will help to make it easier to see!! 92! And the mode is…

  7. Practice with Mode! The following is the number of problems that Miss Bossert assigned for homework on 8 different days. What is the mode?   8,  11,  9,  14,  9,  15,  6,  9 9! And the mode is…

  8. More practice with Mode Use the deck of cards to pick 5 numbers randomly. What is the mode of your numbers? Remember: If you do not see a number more times than any other number, there is NO MODE! Shuffle and keep practicing with a partner!

  9. Median Median is the middle number 2, 4, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10 Work your way in or do what I like to do… …draw rainbows!!! The median is 5.

  10. Median Median is the middle number 2, 4, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 Work your way in or do what I like to do… …draw rainbows!!! UH….OH…2 numbers in the middle?!?!

  11. WHAT DO WE DO??? FIND THE AVERAGE OF THE 2 NUMBERS HERE’S WHAT TO DO: ADD THE 2 NUMBERS IN THE MIDDLE DIVIDE BY 2 (because that’s how many numbers you added together)

  12. TIME TO PLAY!! Roll 5 die Put the dice in order Find the median!

  13. TIME TO PLAY!! Roll 6 die Put the dice in order Find the median Remember: you need to find the average of the two middle numbers!

  14. Range Range is the difference between the highest and lowest numbers in the group. SUBTRACT smallest from biggest!! 2, 4, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10 The range is 8.

  15. Practice Median and Range Click the picture below

  16. Mean Mean is also known as the average of numbers. You find the mean/average by adding all of the numbers in your set. Then you divide by the number of numbers you added together.

  17. Mean Examples A students scored the following on three social studies tests: 93, 80, 73 What is this student’s mean (or average) score? • Add the three numbers together: 246 • Divide this number by 3 (because you added three numbers together): 82 • 82 is this student’s mean (or average) score

  18. Let’s Practice with Mean

  19. Now for a review of Mode, Median, Range and Mean!!
