Exploring Mean, Median, and Mode with Toads

Cody is struggling with an assignment on mean, median, and mode. The Triple M crew, consisting of the mean, median, and mode toads, help him understand these concepts. The mean toad explains how to calculate the mean by adding numbers and dividing by the count. The median toad shows how to find the median by ordering numbers and identifying the middle one. The mode toad describes finding the mode by identifying the most common number. After learning from the toads, Cody feels ready to tackle his homework.

Who assists Cody with his math assignment?

• The Triple M crew

• His math teacher

• His best friend

• His mom

How do you calculate the mean of a set of numbers?

• Subtract the smallest from the largest

• Find the most frequently occurring number

• Arrange in order and pick the middle one

• Add all numbers and divide by the total count

What is the first step in finding the mean?

• Count the total number of numbers

• Arrange the numbers in ascending order

• Identify the most frequent number

• Add all the numbers together

Which character explains how to calculate the mean?

• The Median Toad

• The Mean Toad

• The Mode Toad

• Cody

What is the median in a dataset?

• The average of all numbers

• The middle number after arranging the data in order

• The most frequently occurring number

• The difference between the highest and lowest values

What should you do if there are two middle numbers when finding the median?

• Choose the smaller number

• Ignore both numbers

• Choose the larger number

• Add them together and divide by two

What does the Median Toad emphasize about the order of numbers?

• They must be arranged from least to greatest

• They should be in descending order

• Order does not matter

• They should be grouped by value

How is the mode determined in a set of numbers?

• By calculating the average of all numbers

• By finding the least occurring number

• By selecting the number in the middle of the dataset

• By identifying the number that appears most frequently

What unique method does the Mode Toad use to explain mode?

• Comparing it to sports

• Drawing a diagram

• Using a song

• Listing numbers from smallest to largest

What advice do the toads give to Cody at the end?

• Ask for help more often

• Take more breaks

• Stay green

• Keep practicing math
