Arrange the group of numbers that you are trying to solve from least to greatest. Then, cross out the numbers from side to side, like if the numbers are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, you would cross out 2, 12, 4, 10, Etc. until getting to the final number(s). In this problem, you would end up with 6 and 8. If you end up with more than one number, you will need to find the mean. Add the numbers, then divide by the numbers there are. (ex. 6+8=14 divided by 2) If you get cross out all the numbers in the problem and end up with one number, there's the median!

What is the median in a set of numbers?
to find the median in a set of numbers you have to order them from the smallest to the largest and find the middle value e.g. 2,4,3,7,1 1,2,3,4,7 the median is 3
How do you find the median if there isn't a median?
You add the two numbers in the middle of your range and then you divide them by two, or just find the number that is halfway between the two numbers, and you then have your median.
What if there are 2 numbers in the median?
If there are 2 numbers as the median, you find the mean of those 2 numbers. (add both numbers and divide by 2)
What is a sentence using the word median?
"Finding the median of a group of numbers usually isn't very challenging"
What is the median of a set of numbers if the set of numbers is even?
To find the median of a set of values with an even number of values, place the values in ascending or descending order, find the 2 middle numbers and add them together and divide that total by 2 and that's the median.
