Grade 6 Math Test Questions on Finding the Median

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 🔢 The median is the middle value in a set of data that is ordered from least to greatest.
• 📊 To find the median:
• 📏 First, arrange the data in ascending order (smallest to largest).
• ✨ If there's an odd number of data points, the median is the middle number.
• ➗ If there's an even number of data points, the median is the average of the two middle numbers.
• 🧮 Example 1: Find the median of 3, 6, 2, 8, 5.
• 📝 Step 1: Arrange in ascending order: 2, 3, 5, 6, 8.
• ✏️ Step 2: The median is 5 (the middle number).
• 🧪 Example 2: Find the median of 4, 7, 1, 9, 3, 6.
• 📝 Step 1: Arrange in ascending order: 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9.
• ✏️ Step 2: The two middle numbers are 4 and 6.
• ➗ Step 3: Median = $\frac{4+6}{2} = \frac{10}{2} = 5$.
