Average

Find an average from a total and a count, recover a missing value and recalculate when the group changes.

Your child learns that an average is the level a set of bars comes to when the total is shared out equally. From that, your child finds an average, recovers a missing value, works out a new average when the group changes, finds how many there were at first, and reads the data off a graph or table first.
