• Mean:

  The mean of a group of numbers is the average of the numbers.
  eg., 3, 5, 6, 8, 13.
  Add all the numbers together (3+5+6+8+13=35) then divide (35) by the number of numbers added together (5), so 35 ÷ 5 = 7.

• Median:

  The median of a group of numbers is the number that is exactly in the middle when the numbers are arranged numerically.
  eg., 3, 5, 6, 8, 12. The physical middle number is 6.

• Mode:

  The mode of a group of numbers is the number that appears most often.
  eg., 3, 5, 5, 6, 8, 12. The number that is the most common is 5.

• Range:

  The range of a group of numbers is the difference between the biggest number and the smallest number.
  eg., 3, 5, 6, 8, 12. The range is 12 - 3 = 9.
