• Mean – Average• Median – Middle number• Mode – Number seen the most often• Range – Difference between the highest
and lowest number• Sum – The answer to an addition problem• Addend – The numbers you added together to
get the sum

How to Find the Mean of a Group of Numbers
• Step 1 – Add all the numbers.
8, 10, 12, 18, 22, 26
8+10+12+18+22+26 = 96
How to Find the Mean of a Group of Numbers
• Step 2 – Divide the sum by the number of addends.
8, 10, 12, 18, 22, 26
8+10+12+18+22+26 = 96 How many addends are there?

9, 11, 13, 20, 24
Median
– the middle number in a set of ordered numbers.
1, 3, 7, 10, 13Median = 7Median = 7
How to Find the Median in a Group of Numbers
• Step 1 – Arrange the numbers in order from least to greatest.
21, 18, 24, 19, 27
18, 19, 21, 24, 27
How to Find the Median in a Group of Numbers
• Step 2 – Find the middle number.
21, 18, 24, 19, 27
18, 19, 21, 24, 27
How to Find the Median in a Group of Numbers
• Step 3 – If there are two middle numbers, find the mean of these two numbers.
18, 19, 21, 25, 27, 28
How to Find the Median in a Group of Numbers
• Step 3 – If there are two middle numbers, find the mean of these two numbers.
21+ 25 = 46

What is the median of these numbers?
16, 10, 7
7, 10, 16
What is the median of these numbers?
18, 23, 8, 14, 6, 27
6, 8, 14, 18, 23, 27
Median is 16
What is the Mode of a group of numbers?
-The number that occurs the most often
22, 13, 24, 12, 12, 23, 12
What is the Mode of a group of numbers?
Step 1 – Put the numbers in order from least to greatest.
22, 13, 24, 12, 12, 23, 12
12, 12, 13,12, 22, 23, 24
What is the Mode of a group of numbers?
Step 2 – Find the number that occurs the most often.
12, 12, 13,12, 22, 23, 24
What is the Mode of a group of numbers?
- 12 is the number that occurs most often.
12, 12, 12,12
- 12 is the Mode.
What is the Mode of this group of numbers?
14, 15, 12, 11, 24, 15, 23
The Mode is 15.
What is the Mode of this group of numbers?
35, 21, 56, 35, 23, 14, 12
The Mode is 35.
What is the Mode of this group of numbers?
16, 12, 18, 29, 36, 11, 10
There is no number that occurs more than once.
So, there is no Mode for this group of numbers.
