If there is an even number of items in the set, then the median is found by taking the mean (average) of the two middlemost numbers.  \nThe median is 5.  \nStep Three: Find the Mode  \nTo find the mode of a set of numbers, find the value that occurs most frequently. Note that data sets can have more than one mode or no mode.  \nThe mode is 5.  \nStep Four: Find the Range  \nTo find the range of a set of numbers, find the difference between the highest and lowest values.  \n8 − 1 = 7  \nThe range is 7 .  \nVisit [www.mashupmath.com](www.mashupmath.com) for more free math activities, videos, and worksheets for grades 1-9.  \nNow it’s your turn to explore!  \nRound 1 : Draw 7 Cards  \n\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n\n1. ) Find the Mean:  \n2. ) Find the Median:  \n3. ) Find the Mode:  \n4.)
