Series: Learning on Demand: Numeracy - The Basics - Video Tutorials
Authors: Workplace Education Manitoba (WEM)
Collection: Learning Materials
This video tutorial uses a variety of examples to introduce the concept of averages.
The instructor explains that finding the average, or mean, involves taking a total value and dividing it by the number of units represented by that total. For example, if three students score 90, 85 and 80 respectively on a test, the total value of their marks is 255. To find the average mark, it is necessary to divide the total of 255 by three, the number of students, which shows they had an average score of 85.

Series: Learning on Demand: Numeracy - The Basics - Video Tutorials
Authors: Workplace Education Manitoba (WEM)
Collection: Learning Materials
This video tutorial gives learners a chance to reinforce their knowledge of averages by trying three progressively more challenging problems. They are asked to pause the video to work out the problems on their own, then restart it to see the instructor’s solutions.
The first problem simply requires the learner to find the average of three numbers. In the third problem, the learner is given the average of three numbers, along with two of those three numbers, and must find the third number.
