Comparing mean, median, range, using a data set practice problem will help your students to know this topic better. Central tendency is an important topic in math. Mean, median, mode, range, etc are different measures of central tendency. The average of the observation of the data is known as mean. Median is the middle most value of an observation or data. Likewise, the number that occurs the most in an observation is known as mode. Range can be calculated by subtracting the highest and smallest value of an observation.

You can share these interesting math problems on comparing mean, median, range, using a data set with your students and help them with comparing mean, median and range.
