Answer:

The number in the middle.

Example 1:

2 3 4 5 6

4 is in the middle, 4 is the median.

Example 2:

4 8 2 6 9

Put numbers in order:

2 4 6 8 9

6 is in the middle, 6 is the median.

Example 3:

4 7 2 3 9 8

Put numbers in order:

2 3 4 7 8 9

4 and 7 are in the middle, add them together and divide by 2 to get the median.

(4 + 7) / 2 = 11 / 2 = 5.5

5.5 is the median.
