M.O.5.5.4
Collect and analyze data using
mean, median and mode to
determine the best statistical
measure.
Guiding Questions
• What is mean, median, and
mode?
• How do you calculate mean,
median, and mode?
Materials
• Nine index cards with numbers
on them
• Computer
• Power Point Lesson Plan
VOCABULARY
• Data: Collected information
• Mean: The number found by adding
all the data and dividing by the
number of data. Often called the
average.
• Median: The is the middle number.
• Mode: The is the data value that

the what data, mean, median and
mode is and they will be given 1

definition
• Class will view power point slide for mean,

vocabulary slide).
• Class will identify the median of the
student cards.
• Class will identify the mode of the student
cards.
• Class will total amount of student cards,
count the number of cards and divide to
determine the mean.
Procedure Continued
• Students will be placed in group
of five and survey group
members for the month of their
birthday.
• Groups will calculate the mean,
median and mode of this data.
Closure
• Class will review vocabulary.
• Remind about vocabulary by
using helpful hints power point
slide.
• Review how to determine mean,
median and mode.
Tips To Help You
Remember
• The mode occurs most often.

Assessment
• Students will be given a sheet of
paper with two set of data. One set
will include seven numbers and the
other will include 10 numbers
• Students will sort each set
individually from least to greatest.
• They will calculate the mean,
median and mode.
