Mean, median, mode and range practice for 6th grade. The first sheet finds all four on one set of data so the difference between them is clear. The practice sheets take the mean first, then median and mode, then everything together. Every practice sheet has its answer key on the second page.
All four measures found on the same five numbers, what to do with an even count, and when to use each.

Students mix these up because they are usually taught in one lesson. The lesson sheet works all four on the same five numbers, and the practice sheets separate them: mean alone, then median and mode, which both start with putting the numbers in order.
Two cases need care. With an even number of values there are two middle numbers, and the median is halfway between them. And a set where no value repeats has no mode.
On the mean sheet every answer is a whole number, so the practice stays on the method. The real data sheet includes one mean that is not. For displaying data, see the graphing worksheets.
