Mode and range

Learning Objectives Identify the number that appears most often in a small group of numbers (the mode). Find the biggest number in a group of up to 10 numbers. Find the smallest number in a group of up to 10 numbers. Calculate the difference between the biggest and smallest numbers (the range). Explain that 'mode' means 'most'. Explain that 'range' tells us how spread out our numbers are. Look at your friends' favorite colors! 🔴🔵🟢🔵🔴🔵 Which color is the most popular? 🤔 Today, we will learn two fun new ideas!

Finding the Mode \text{Mode} = \text{The number that appears most often} To find the mode, count how many times you see each number. The one you see the most is the mode! Sometimes there can be more than one mode. Finding the Range \text{Range} = \text{Biggest Number} - \text{Smallest Number} To find the range, first find the biggest number. Then, find the smallest number. Finally, subtract the smallest from the biggest.
