Students collect materials gathered from breaking open a piñata to learn how to find the median, mode and range for data collection. After collecting of materials from the broken piñata students sort these materials into groups such as pennies, trinkets and so forth. As a group, students learn to select the median, mode and range of what they have collected. Students are then assigned the task of making sure all the groups have the same number of pennies. This introductory activity will be a foundation for future data gathering of measurement from science activities.
