Year 7 Averages Worksheets | Printable PDFs
Year 7 Averages worksheets for year 7 maths, or class 7. Children in year 7 are age between 11 and 12. Students in year 7 learn how to find the mean, median and the mode. The mean average is calculated by adding all the values and dividing by the number of values there are. The median is the middle value when the data is arranged in order and the mode is the value that appears most often. In the data set 4, 2, 8, 6, 2, 2, the mean is 4 because (4 + 2 + 8 + 6 + 2 + 2) ÷ 6 = 24 ÷ 6 = 4. The mode is 2 because this value appears the most.
The median is 3 because when the numbers are put in order, 2, 2, 2, 4, 6, 8, 2 and 4 appear in the middle, add them together and divide by 2, the middle number is 3. Year 7 students are also required to work out the range, which is the difference between the largest and smallest value in a set of data. Can you work out the range for the data set 4, 2, 8, 6, 2, 2? These worksheets help students develop their understanding of data handling and statistical measures.
