This is not a mathematics activity. It is a Digital Citizenship activity. Students are performing NO MATHEMATICS as it is written, it could be modified so that the student actually performs the mathematical operations of mean, medium and mode.

This would make a really nice computer lesson on averages, which also brings in some financial awareness. Students have to shop around for some different prices for a product and then calculate averages of these prices in excel. The instructions are clear and there are some screen shots which make it easy to follow. I can imagine students being really engaged in this lesson and it teaching them some useful skills. Thank you for sharing.
