Your neighbor teaches math at your local elementary school. This week, her students are being introduced to the concepts of mean, median, and mode. The students have been asking, "Why do we need to learn these things? We will never use them in real life." Your neighbor needs your help responding to this complaint.

Respond to the following in depth. Please also explain Mean, Medium, and Mode within the examples. Please do not provide the same example of 50 chocolates that has been used on here with the 12 inch log. That example is not too great, thanks in advance!

• Without using the word "average" or any mathematical equations, describe how you might respond to the elementary school students.
