Median and Mode Averages

 

Students learn to calculate the median and mode averages from data presented as a list.

As learning progresses, they begin to consider when to use each average depending on the type of data available.

Differentiated Learning Objectives
  • All students should be able to calculate the median from a discrete data set.
  • Most students should be able to calculate the mode from a discrete data set.
  • Some students should be able to use the range, median and mode to compare data distributions.
