In this Grade 5 worksheet, students analyze house prices, shoe-size sales, and weekly rainfall to choose the best measure of center. They predict next-week rainfall from a tight cluster and total a fractional line plot using 5.MD.2 reasoning. Fill-in items practice median with an outlier, mean to two decimals, and mode for restocking decisions, giving Grade 5 students authentic reasons to pick mean, median, or mode.
