Mode
Mode is the number that appears the most in a sequence.
To find mode you must put the numbers in order and count how many times each number is repeated.
For example:
3,6,4,2,6,2,2,2
2,2,2,2,3,4,6,6
2 appears the most and therefore it is the mode

Median
The median is the middle number.
To find this you put the numbers in a sequence from smallest to largest and count from each side  to get to the middle.
For example:
1,3,2,1,1,7,9
1,1,1,2,3,7,9
The middle number is 2.
Theredore the median is 2.
If there was an even amount of numbers than you must find the mean e.g.
428392
223489
3 and 4 are both in the middle
Add them 3+4=7
And divide the number you get by the amount of numbers in the set (so there are 2 numbers)
So 7÷2=3.5
Therefore the median is 3.5

Mean
Mean is the average.
To find the mean you add your data together and divide it by the amount. of numbers you have.
For example:
5,10,2,8
5+10+2+8=25
25÷4=5
The mean is 5
