What is the mode?

The mode is the number that appears most often from a list of numbers. 

 

Example:

4, 3, 4, 2, 6, 4, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4

The number which appears the most is number 4. The mode is 4.

 

What is the median?

The median is the number that is in the middle.

 

Example:

15 ,6, 9, 23,  2

Step 1: Put the numbers in order from smallest to biggest:

2, 6, 9, 15, 23

Step 2: See which number is in the middle position.

2, 6, 9, 15, 23

Number 9 is in the middle. The median is 9.

 

Let's start the activities!

We are going to practise finding the mode and finding the median of the given numbers.
