Time is a continuous sequence of events.
The median is found by organizing a set of numbers from least to greastest and finding the number that falls in the middle, but if there is an even set of numbers, the two numbers are added and then divided by 2. For example: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. The median would be 7.
The mean is found by adding a set of numbers together then dividing the total by how many numbers there are. For example: 7+8+9= 24. 24 divided by 3 is 8. The mean would be 8.
The mode is found by organizing the set of numbers from least to greatest and then finding the number that appears the most. For example: 5, 6, 7, 7, 8. The mode is 7 because 7 appears the most times in the number set.
They measured how long a paper plane would glide for in the air. After they measured the length of their activity, they turned their times into a mean. They also found the median and mode for all of their times.
