When would the modal answer be useful?

Question

I'm teaching 'averages' to 10 year olds. Has anyone got ideas for interesting data where the modal answer would be useful.

Thanks

ps.I'm trying to do 3 things at once so I'd really appreciate it if you could do a bit of thinking for me :)

Answer 1

Do a class vote on what is their favourite video game/playground and the most popular is the mode, so they could use that if they were trying to think of a class game!

Answer 2

the modal answer is useful for finding out which thing is most popular. soooooo a good example would beeee..

if a bunch of dogs are all voting on what type of dog food they want, the modal answer would be best because it would make the majority of the dogs happy.

(or do anything to do with voting, cos the modal answer is always the one that is most useful in that situation)
