Measures of Center & Variability (Mixed)

This worksheet includes covers mean, mode, median, range, interquartile range (IQR), and mean absolute deviation (MAD). First, students will identify whether the statistical measures summarize center or variation. Then they'll calculate each.
6th and 7th Grades
aCalculating Measures of Center and Variability
Use this worksheet to help students determine whether range, mean, median, mode, and interquartile range (IQR) are each measures of center or variability, and practice finding each of these measures.
6th and 7th Grades
aIdentifying and Finding Measures of Center & Variability
With this worksheet, students will practice identifying and calculating the measures of center and variability: mean, median, mode, and range.
6th and 7th Grades
aMean, Median, Mode, and Range Activity
Students identify when to use median instead of mean (and vice versa), when different measures of center are the same, which measures of variation describe which types of data spread, and other details important for learning to summarizing data sets.
