The mode is the most common number in a sequence. This is how i remember it---->

MOde=MOst common (They both have the same beginning).

e.g if we look at this sequence 2, 4, 5, 5, 8, 5, 2, 4, 5 <---- 5 is there four times, compared to the others which are less, so the mode is 5.

The median is the middle value of a sequence of numbers. This is how I remember it --->

MEDIan=MEDIum <--- which I associate with "middle".

eg: 2, 4, 9, 5, 7. <--- if we put those in order from smallest to highest they will be, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9 and the value in the middle is 5.

The mean is the "other one" This involves adding up all the numbers and dividing it by the number of numbers there is, if that makes sense. Let me show you an example.

e.g: 4, 6, 7, 9 <--- If we add these together they will be 26. There are four numbers there. so 26 divided by four is 6.5. The point of this is to see what the "average" score is...that's if that's what you want to know.
