Your friend comes from a large family. This list shows the ages of all of the children in her family. What is the median age of the children? 12, 9, 15, 7, 9, 13, 16
The median age is 12 because if you put them in order: 7,9,9,12,13,15,16 then you cross off one number from each side until you get to the middle number.
