This unique simulation for grades 6-9 provides hands-on practice in exploring mean, mode, and median. It features an interactive Java graphing applet that allows users to add/remove boxes from an axis with a given range. Click above the x axis to "plop" blocks into the desired columns, then watch as the applet displays pointers indicating mode, mean, and median. Students can also increase/decrease the range of values or input data in a statistical panel to practice constructing computer-generated graphs.
