The story behind it
A team captain cannot pick a side by feeling alone. She looks at the scores: the total, the middle score, the one that keeps turning up, and how far apart the best and worst days are. Four small numbers that say a great deal.
How to play
- Look at the scores on the chart.
- Mean: the total shared equally. Median: the middle one in order.
- Mode: the most common. Range: highest take away lowest.

What it teaches
Mean, median, mode and range from a small data set, and what each one tells you.
The story to tell first
A team captain cannot pick a side by feeling alone. She looks at the scores: the total, the middle score, the one that keeps turning up, and how far apart the best and worst days are. Four small numbers that say a great deal.
Three questions to ask
- One very high score joins the list. Which changes more, the mean or the median?
- Two players have the same mean. How could you still tell them apart?
- When is the most common score more useful than the average?
