Support understanding of the mean by using this resource.

This Year 6 Understand and Calculate the Mean Varied Fluency worksheet helps children understand that the mean is a type of average, and the most commonly-used average (the others are mode and median). Children will learn that the mean is found by finding the total of a set of numbers then dividing by the number of items. They will calculate the mean for given numbers and then handle the mean in different familiar contexts. All answers are also included so that marking is as easy as possible!

A reasoning and problem solving resource and fluency matrix are also available for this small step.
