Grade 5

What is the mode?

mode

The value that appears most often in a set of data.

For example

Six children chose sorrel and two chose mauby, so sorrel is the mode.

In Grade 5

Children tally real data and pick out the value that appears most often.

Watch out for

Children often give how many times the value appeared instead of the value itself. The mode is the value, not its count.

Say it at home

Count favourite colours in the family and name the one chosen most often.
