Median (sounds like medium therefore middle score)
Mode ( the acronym Most Occuring Decimal)
Mean ( its the hard one so its mean)

That's a good way of remebering which one is which.

I usually go something like:
Mean is the same as average
Median is the middle one, like median strip
Mode is the other one.

Doesn't help work them out, but does help tell the difference.

Be careful calling the mean an average. Actually, the median and mode are also averages, though people often say 'average' they actually mean the mean. So if someone says average, ask them what average.
