This Week – Averages

November 18th, 2009

An average is some sort of middle or typical number. There are three types; mean, median and mode.

The mean is the answer when you add up all the numbers, then divide the answer by however many numbers there are.

The median is the middle number – remember to put the numbers in order.

The mode is the most common number (speak in nice posh voice – mode sounds like most!)

Range is the biggest number take away the smallest number.

Welcome to our class blog!

November 1st, 2009

We will be using this blog to record what we have learned in lessons, to share useful links and to remind ourselves about homework (because we all love homework).

If you would like to leave a comment, please remember these common sense rules:

1. Be safe – students shouldn’t include personal details in their comments. Use your initials or your first name only.
2. Be sensible – comment in the appropriate place, for example if you have a comment about a particular post, leave it on the section for that post.
3. Be clear – use good English (not txt or lolspeak)
4. Be respectful – it’s fine to be critical or to disagree with what someone says, but if you do, please discuss it nicely!

Comments won’t be published immediately – every comment has to be read by Ms Lindemann before it appears on this site. If something isn’t appropriate, it won’t be published.

Any questions? Just ask, or leave a comment.
