Mean, Median, and Mode

Some students have a difficult time remembering the difference between finding the mean, median, and mode. Here is a great song to help you remember! If you find one you like, share it in the comment section. Remember to always put the data set in order from least to greatest first!

Lyrics:

2x's
Mean, Median and Mode
C'mon everybody so here we go
The 3M's that you really need to know

the Mean, Median, and Mode, So.....

The Mean, the mean I mean mean the mean, I mean...
C'mon kids, it's really not so bad,
Grab your data numbers from the table and first
you start to add

When you finally have them added up,
then can you only divide
because this is how you find the mean, yes
the average number that's right.

Now that you found the average number
you see what I mean
ha ha, yeah yeah,
c'mon everybody just do it again please

add em up and then you divide, by the total number in the table that's right
add em up and then you divide, by the total number in the table that's right

Chorus 2X's

The Mode the Mode the mo, mode the mode, the mo mode the mode the mode, mode
M-O-D-E, it's the number with the highest frequency
it's the number that you will most often see.
C'mon everybody find the mode with me.

The Mode the Mode the mo, mode the mode, the mo mode the mode the mode, mode
M-O-D-E, it's the number with the highest frequency
it's the number that you will most often see.
C'mon everybody find the mode with me.

Chorus 2x's

For the third M, just think of a road
median, the number in the middle for sure
before you start driving for the median
take this one step before, before you begin

order order order order please
it's the one thing requested by mister c
it's like a little mathematics guarantee
making things so nice and so easy

take a step from side to side
only take one step at a time
you have the green light
it's your time to shine
one from the left and one from the right

take a step from side to side
only take one step at a time
you have the green light
it's your time to shine
one from the left and one from the right

Chorus 2x's
