The median is the middle number in
a set of numbers when they are arranged in order. ๐
For example, if you have the numbers 5, 2, and 9, when we line them up from smallest to largest, we get 2, 5, and 9. The median is 5 because it's in the center! If there is an even number of values, we take the two middle numbers and find their average. For instance, in the numbers 1, 3, and 6, the median is 3 because it is halfway between 3 and 6! ๐
