Practise finding the mean, median, mode and range from small sets of data. Students write the numbers out in order, so the middle value gives the median and repeated values stand out as the mode. 16 questions, full answers included.

Worksheet (1 page): eight questions on finding the mean, median, mode and range. The early questions prompt students to write each list in order, with one list already ordered as a model, and the support then drops away. Later questions include a nine-value list, decimal values, finding a missing number from a given mean, and finding an unknown from a given range.

Further practice (1 page): eight questions graded by difficulty and set in context: netball goals, sunflower heights, hours of sunshine read from a bar chart, a missing value from a given median, comparing the consistency of two archers, a missing pumpkin mass from a change in the mean, finding three numbers from their median, mean and range, and explaining what happens to the range when 10 is added to every number.

Answers to all 16 questions are included as a separate file.

Suitable for GCSE Foundation (AQA S4) and for Key Stage 3 classes working on averages and range.
