Mean, median, and mode are introduced in Year 5. Students learn to calculate these measures to summarise and compare datasets, understanding their uses and limitations, especially in the presence of outliers.

Tutero’s curriculum covers various measures of centre, such as mean, median, and mode. Students learn how to calculate these measures and understand their significance in summarising data. The lessons emphasise the strengths and limitations of each measure, fostering a deep understanding of central tendency.
In measures of centre, the lesson plan includes enabling prompts to support students in calculating mean, median, and mode, complemented by extending prompts for those ready to apply these measures to analyse data sets and infer typical values. This approach encourages a comprehensive understanding of central tendency in statistics.

Tutero’s measures of centre exercise sheets focus on calculating and interpreting the mean, median, and mode through practical examples like analysing consumer ratings or school performance data. These central measures provide insights into data trends and averages, critical for data-driven decision-making.

Understanding Mean, Median, and Mode
Students begin by learning the definitions and methods of calculating the mean, median, and mode of data sets. They explore how each measure describes data differently and practice finding these measures in real data sets. By Year 5, they not only calculate these statistical measures but also interpret what they reveal about data distribution and how they can be used in decision-making processes.
Calculating Measures of Centre
Students begin by calculating simple measures of central tendency—mean, median, and mode—from small data sets. They learn which measure to use based on the data’s characteristics. By Year 5, they calculate these measures for more complex and larger data sets, interpreting what each measure tells about the data.
Real-Life Applications of Measures of Centre
Students apply measures of central tendency—mean, median, and mode—in real-world situations, such as analysing test scores, consumer prices, or sports statistics. They learn which measure is most appropriate in different scenarios. By Year 5, students use measures of centre to make informed decisions in fields such as business, economics, and public policy.
