Mean, Median, Mode, and Range

Students were introduced to mean, median, mode, and range this week. Yesterday, they were given Skittles candy to use for their set of data.  They began by sorting them into colors and then finding the 3M’s and R for each set.  Next, they shared their data with a partner and a small group to create larger numbers to work with to find mean, median, mode, and range.  Third graders loved this activity and of course, enjoyed eating their manipulatives.
