It depends on the context.

In geometry, a median is a line from a vertex of a triangle to the mid-point of the opposite side.

In statistics, the median of a set of data is the value such that it is larger than half the values in the data set, and smaller than a half.
Median means the number that comes up in the middle. An example would be:

here are your numbers 1,2,3,4,5 your median would be 3. You have to have your numbers in order before doing median.

If the sequence you are given is not ordered, you must order it before finding the median. Thus for the sequence 2,1,5,3,4 the median is 3 (and not 5).

The mean is th eaverage of all numbers in a set (add the numbers and divide by the number of numbers). The median is simply the number in the emiddle when the set is arranged from low to high. If 2 numbers are in the middle, the median is th eaverage of those 2 numbers.

Example: 1,2,3,4,5 mean is (1+2+3+4+5)/5 = 3. Median is also 3

Example: 1,3,7,9,30 mean is (1+3+7+9 + 30)/5 = 10; median is 7
