Grade 5 - Data and Graphing - Measures of Central Tendency

This guide covers essential measures of central tendency: mean, median, mode, and range. These concepts help students analyze data sets and are often tested in standardized exams.

The mean involves adding all numbers and dividing by the total count. The median is the middle value when numbers are arranged in order. The mode is the most frequently occurring number, and the range is the difference between the highest and lowest values. Understanding these concepts is crucial for data analysis and can provide an advantage in testing scenarios.
