Elementary Test Prep: Math 4 Test (Grades 3-4) Mode

Lesson Page Patterns + Functions

Mode is the number that occurs most often in a list of data.

	Suppose these are the weights of 9 rabbits.
3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8
Mode is the number that occurs most often Mode = 6

Example 1:	Number of dogs per student

Find the mode	Mode = 3
Each x on the line plot stands for one student. 3 is the number that occurred the most often. Mode = 3

Example 2:

Money Collected for Candy Sold

Find the mode

$10

$12

$21

$25

$12 and $25 both occur 2 times

There would be 2 modes: $12 and $25

Remember: The mode is the number that occurs most often in the data. If no number occurs more than once, there is no mode.
