Mean Median Mode With Playing Cards

This document introduces an activity to help students learn about mean, median, mode, and range by drawing random number cards and calculating each metric. Students are instructed to draw cards in rounds of increasing quantity, calculate the mean, median, mode, and range for each round, and record their results. They are challenged to also calculate all four metrics for an entire deck of cards. The activity aims to help students explore and better understand these common statistical measures in an interactive way using playing cards.

Exploring Mean, Median, Mode, and Range


-with Playing Cards!-

Required Materials

Deck of Playing Cards (Jokers Removed), Pens & Pencils, Paper, Calculator

How Does This Activity Work?

Start by drawing 7 cards from your deck of playing cards and arrange them
in order from least to greatest.

Note: Aces equal 1 and Face Cards equal 10.

-SAMPLE-

Step One: Find the Mean


To find the mean of a set of numbers, add all the values together and divide by the
number of values in the set.

1 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 5 + 7 + 8 = 31
31 ÷ 7 = 4.42857142857 …

The mean is approximately 4.4.

Step Two: Find the Median
To find the median of a set of numbers, arrange the values in order from least to
greatest and find the middlemost number. If there is an even number of items in
the set, then the median is found by taking the mean (average) of the two
middlemost numbers.

The median is 5.

Step Three: Find the Mode


To find the mode of a set of numbers, find the value that occurs most frequently.
Note that data sets can have more than one mode or no mode.

The mode is 5.

Step Four: Find the Range


To find the range of a set of numbers, find the difference between the highest and
lowest values.

8−1=7

The range is 7.
