Arrange the numbers from least to greatest. Then count from each side until you find the middle number. If you end up with two numbers, find the average.
First put the numbers in order from smallest to largest. Then find the middle number. If there are two middle numbers find the number halfway between these.

For example:

Find the median of 5 ,7, 3, 9, 2, 3.

First order them: 2, 3, 3, 5, 7, 9

The middle numbers are 3 and 5 so the median is halfway between - i.e. 4.

Note: Only if you have an odd number of values will there be an exact middle.
