How to solve mean, median, mode and range

This week we are learning about mean, median, mode and range so I have made a thinglink to show what I have learnt. Doing this thinglink I have learnt how to find the right size when embedding thinglinks. Next time I want to put more information.

Term 1 Week 4

Problem 1 : On the first day of school for 2016, Miss Goodier gave out 32 pencils, Mr Hadnett gave out 35 pencils, and Miss Ashe gave out 28 pencils. At the end of the first week of school, Mr Tyrell checked everyone still had a pencil and discovered that 60 had gone missing! How many pencils are there still?

Solution :

32 + 35 + 28 = 95

95 - 60 = 35

Answer 35 pencils

Problem 2 : At the supermarket, there are 84 oranges in one carton and 58 apples in the carton next to it. How many oranges and apples are there altogether?

Solution : 84 + 58 = 142

Answer 142

Problem 3 : I have measured a wall of my bedroom and it is 4.1 metres long. I want to buy two pieces of furniture but I want to fit them along this particular wall. The table is 1.8m long. The bed is 2.4m long. What is the length of the table and bed combined? 1.8m + 2.4m = 4.2m is the total length of the table and bed combined.

Will this fit along the wall of my bedroom? No because if you takeway 4.1 by 4.2 it will equal -0.1
