Eighth Grade Math
Median

The second area I need some help in connects to our statistics unit. My students can recognize the mode of a set of data, and they comprehend the usefulness of such information. They also can understand the advantage of determining the range and mean. But the concept of determining, or even the necessity of finding, the median totally eludes them. Beyond the standard mathematical calculation of this, I admit that I have been at a loss to find any supplemental materials to add to my lessons. Any suggestions you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
