Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

A. Preliminary Activities

Prayer

Before we formally start our class discussion for

today, please stand for a prayer. The student will lead the prayer.

(After the prayer)

Good afternoon class! Good afternoon, sir!

Classroom Rules

Before we discuss our lesson for today let’s have

first a classroom rules. Please listen to my
discussion attentively. If you have any questions,
don’t hesitate to raise your hand and speak up.
Remember, there are no wrong questions. Are we
clear? Yes, sir.
 Checking of Attendance

This time, may I ask our class monitor to report to

us our absentees today.
There is no absent sir
Thank you, class monitor. Please remind those
individuals to bring their excuse letters when they
return to school so that they can make up any
missed quizzes or assignments.

B. Motivation
Alright everyone, quick question. Can you name 5
merienda or snacks you usually buy from the
school canteen or nearby sari-sari store? Please
raise your hand if you want to answer.
(student answer)
(Write the responses as frequency in the chalk
board or white board)

(Example)

Snacks Votes

Kwek - kwek 10

Turon 9

Fishball 15

Banana cue 2

Lumpia 16

Given the data set, if we were to decide on the

most popular snack for a school event, how
should we summarize this data?

Should we look at the highest value? The middle

value? Or the one that appears most frequently?

This is where the measures of central tendency

(mean, median, and mode) help us. They make it
easy to summarize and understand the data in
different ways. Let’s learn how they work! Are Yes Sir!
you excited for our lesson?
 C. Lesson Proper
Before we go to our lesson proper, these are the
learning outcomes:

At the end of one hour lesson the student must be

able to:

 analyzed how to compute and

interpret the measures of central
tendency, including the mean,
median, and mode, in a given set of
statistical data,
 calculated the mean and the median
in the given data set, and
 valued the importance of measures
of central tendency in understanding
and interpreting data in everyday
situations and decision-making. (Students read the learning outcomes)
Everyone please read the learning outcomes.

So, now let’s us go to our lesson proper which is

the measures of central tendency. Anyone here
have an idea about the measures of central
tendency?
The mean, median and mode
Yes, (points at the student)

Okay very good.

What is Measure of Central Tendency?

Measures of central tendency are

summary statistics that represent the center point
or typical value of a dataset. Examples of these
measures include the mean, median, and mode.
These statistics indicate where most values in a
distribution fall and are also referred to as the
central location of a distribution. You can think of
central tendency as the propensity for data points
to cluster around a middle value.

In statistics, the mean, median, and mode are the

three most common measures of central tendency.
Each one calculates the central point using a
different method. Choosing the best measure of
central tendency depends on the type of data you
have. In this post, I explore the mean, median, and
mode as measures of central tendency, show you
how to calculate them, and how to determine
which one is best for your data.

Mean

The mean is the arithmetic average, and it is

probably the measure of central tendency that you
are most familiar. Calculating the mean is very
simple. You just add up all of the values and
divide by the number of observations in your
dataset.
The mean is the arithmetic average, and it is
Please read (name of the student) probably the measure of central tendency that you
are most familiar. Calculating the mean is very
simple. You just add up all of the values and
divide by the number of observations in your
dataset.

Okay very good, please take your seat.

So, to calculate the mean we have this formula:

Where x is the data given divided by n which is

the total number of data in the data set.

For example, we have data set: 10, 12, 14, 14, 15,
18, 20

As you can see here, we add all the data given

which is equal to 103, and divided by the total
number of data which 7. We got 14.71 as its
mean.
Another Example

Data set: 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 23 100, sir.

Given the data set, what is the sum of all values? 12, sir.

Okay good, what is the mean?

Good job everyone. Yes sir!

Is it clear for everybody?

Okay next, let’s proceed to Median

The median is the middle value. It is the value that

splits the dataset in half, making it a natural
measure of central tendency. The median is the middle value. It is the value that
splits the dataset in half, making it a natural
Please read (name of the student) measure of central tendency.

Good, take your set.

To find the median, order your data from smallest

to largest, and then find the data point that has an
equal number of values above it and below it. The
method for locating the median varies slightly
depending on whether your dataset has an even or
odd number of values. I’ll show you how to find
the median for both cases. In the examples, I use
whole numbers for simplicity, but you can have
decimal places.

On our first data set: 10, 12, 14, 14, 15, 18, 20.
Odd sir.
Is the data set even or odd?
Yes sir.
Is it already in order?
14, sir.
What do you think here is the median?
Because it is located at the middle of the data set
Why is it 14? sir.
Okay very good.

Another example:

Even sir.

Is the data set even or odd? No sir.

Is it already in order?

Please write the order of the given data set on the (student write on the board)
board

Okay very good.

When there is an even number of values, you

count in to the two innermost values and then take
the mean/average.

So, when dealing an even data set, you must add

the two middle values and divide it by two. As
you can see in the given, 56, sir.

27 + 29 = 28, sir.

56/2

Good job everyone! Yes, Sir!

Am I clear?
The last one is Mode

The mode is the value that occurs the most

frequently in your data set, making it a different
type of measure of central tendency than the mean
or median. The mode is the value that occurs the most
Please read everyone. frequently in your data set, making it a different
type of measure of central tendency than the mean
or median.

Very good!

On our previous data set can you determined what

is the mode?
14, sir.
data set: 10, 12, 14, 14, 15, 18, 20

Very good class.

Another example

In the dataset, the value 5 occurs most frequently,

which makes it the mode. Yes, sir!

Clear to everyone?

How about if the given data set has two or more

highest frequency? For example,

data set: 3, 5, 2, 5, 9, 1, 5, 7, 8, 7, 1, 7, 2, 3, 9 5 and 7, Sir.

What is the mode in the given data set?

Correct! The given set has two modes 5 and 7 and

it is called bimodal.

If there are only two modes, the data set is called

bimodal.

If more than two modes exist, it is multimodal.

Okay then!

Now we are going to practice calculating the (Three students volunteered)

measures of central tendency: mean, median, and
mode, using the data we’ve collected earlier
(motivation). I need three volunteers to come up
to the board to help with the calculations.

Student 1: Calculate the mean by adding all the

numbers and dividing by how many there are. (Students perform)

Student 2: Find the median by putting the

numbers in order and finding the middle.

Student 3: Identify the mode, the number that

appears the most. I'll guide you as needed.
The lumpia sir
Given the answers, what do you think is the most
popular snack that the students bought? Because it has the highest frequency/ votes in the
given data set.
Very good, why do you think it is lumpia?

Correct, good job everyone!

D. Application
(students count)
Now, let’s have some group activity, everyone
counts from one to four, if your number is one
then you belong to group one, that also goes with
two, three and four.

Instruction: Survey the ages of your groupmates

and include the age of your class adviser or
favorite teacher. Each group will calculate:
Mean: Add all the ages together and divide by the
number of members.
(students performed)
Median: Arrange the ages in order and find the
middle value.

Mode: Identify the age that appears most

frequently.

Answer it in one half crosswise.

Work together as a team, and I’ll be here if you

need help!
Yes, sir.
Am I clear?

Once your done please pass it forward. You will

be given 15 minutes to finish the task.

Times up!

Please pass your work.

E. Generalization

After we end our lesson, let’s have some short

review or recap.
