We are going to use our own data to work out our own averages.

In class, we shall be finding the mode  for pizza and shoes; it is the //most often seen or frequent //value in a set of data.

The **mode** of a set of data values is the value(s) that occurs most often. If there is no data value or data values that occur most frequently, we say that the set of data values has no mode.
 * It is possible for a set of data values to have more than one mode.
 * If there are two data values that occur most frequently, we say that the set of data values is **bimodal**.

Make a two row chart and roll a die 11 times. Recorded your numbers in the first row as they come up, and then in numerical order in the second row. Find the mode  number.

In class, we shall be finding the median : it is the number in the middle,therefore when ordering the data what is the middle number.

15/6/2012 The following questions are to be attempted in pairs, once we have explained how to use a Melways/Grid Reference Map.

Answer the questions in your Maths books. Good luck!

// LUCKY DICE // // In pairs you will play this ** subtraction game **. Your aim is to create the largest possible difference between the two 5-digit numbers. //

//** Here’s how to play. **//

// • Take turns to roll the dice. Write the number rolled in your workbook to begin creating your equation. Choose its position carefully! // // • Continue throwing the dice and writing in numbers until the equation is complete. // // • Now subtract the two 5-digit numbers. // // Compare your answer with your partner’s. // // Who has the biggest difference? // // The player with the biggest difference wins that round. // // • Keep playing until you have completed 5 equations each. // // The player who has won the most rounds wins. //

// Explain in your own words how you would teach someone subtraction with trading. //

//** Don’t FORGET to : **// // *Record your work neatly // // *Show evidence of your working out //
