(Assuming you mean "median" when you say "middlan..."

Mean, median, and mode are all math terms. Mean is a certain type of way to get an average in a set of data.

The median number in a set of data is the number that is in the middle of all the rest when they are all lined up from least to greatest.

The mode numbers in a set of data are the numbers that occur most often ("Mode" comes from the French word that means "in fashion"- think of it this way: if there are a lot of numbers that are the same, it means that those numbers are "popular" and that they are "in fashion".)

For example:

Look at this set of data that is already organized from least to smallest.

1 3 3 4 5.5 7 10 10 12 14 17

The median would be 7, as it is right in the middle. (If there is an even amount of numbers, find the middle two and find the exact middle of those two.)

The mean is about 7.8. I got this by adding all of the numbers(86.5, in this case) and then dividing the sum by the number of numbers (11).

The mode would be both 3 and 10, as they both have the same and the greatest amount of numbers. Or you could write none and just say why- that there is a mode number but there is more than one number that is the "mode"
