Unit 11 Assessment - Mean, Median, Mode, and Range is a Grade 5 mathematics worksheet that checks whether students can identify and calculate four key statistical measures. Across 15 items, students distinguish measures of center from range, recognize mean as a fair share, identify the most frequent and middle values, and determine the spread between data values. The assessment includes 10 multiple-choice questions, one multiple-select question, and four fill-in-the-blank questions. Students also apply these skills to ordered and unordered data sets, temperature tables, a stem-and-leaf plot, a line plot, and real-world situations involving equal shares and calculations. The fill-in responses require students to find a median, mean, range, and missing amount, while the selected-response items reinforce vocabulary and interpretation. This free printable worksheet includes a complete answer key for efficient checking and can help Grade 5 teachers assess readiness for further data analysis.

FAQs

What does this Grade 5 worksheet cover?

This worksheet assesses students’ ability to identify and calculate the mean, median, mode, and range. Its 15 questions combine multiple choice, multiple select, and fill-in-the-blank formats, asking students to recognize statistical vocabulary, find values in data sets, and interpret tables, a stem-and-leaf plot, and a line plot.

How can I use this worksheet to teach mean, median, mode, and range?

Introduce the assessment by having students sort a small data set and discuss which value is the middle, most frequent, or farthest apart. Then model mean as a fair share and range as the difference between the greatest and least values before assigning the worksheet. Use the candy-sharing and crayon-bowl scenarios to connect the vocabulary to equal-group situations, and review the table and graph items by asking students to explain how the representation supports each answer.

What mistakes should I watch for when students complete this worksheet?

Students may confuse the four terms, especially treating range as a measure of center or choosing mode when a question describes the middle value. For the median items, check that students arrange the data before identifying the middle; for mean and range, check that they add or divide correctly and subtract the least value from the greatest. In the multiple-select item, students must select mean, mode, and median without including range.

How do I assign and grade this worksheet?

Wayground provides this worksheet as a printable PDF and as a digital quiz, and it includes a complete answer key for all 15 items. You can grade printable submissions by scanning student work with the Wayground for Teachers app, or review responses from the digital quiz. The printable version can also support schools that are reducing screen time.

How can I differentiate this worksheet for my students?

Use the worksheet’s Advanced Settings to adjust font spacing and font size so the statistical vocabulary, data tables, and fill-in response areas are easier to navigate. You can also apply a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language when appropriate. These options can make the mean, median, mode, and range items more readable without changing the questions.
