Motivational Activity
Candy Descriptor:
Directions:
The teacher will let the students choose and get a candy they like. Each color
of the candy stands a command or instruction. The teacher will reveal the
counterpart command of candy if everyone has their candies.
Red candy Describe the right person beside you.
Yellow candy - Describe the left person beside you.
Violet Candy - Describe the person in front of you.
Only positive statements must be heard and say to each other. This will
end if everyone done describing the person they should describe.
Questions:
1. Do you agree with the description you heard about you? Why?
2. How do you feel after hearing those descriptions towards you?
3. Does it boost your confidence to yourself and towards to other people?

Main Activity:
Directions:
The class will be divided into 2 groups and each group needs to find out the
answer with the problem below with the help of Guided sample.
Guided sample:
For example, suppose you have 25 test scores, and in order from lowest to
highest they look like this: 43, 54, 56, 61, 62, 66, 68, 69, 69, 70, 71, 72, 77, 78,
79, 85, 87, 88, 89, 93, 95, 96, 98, 99, 99. To find the 90th percentile for these
(ordered) scores, start by multiplying 90% times the total number of scores,
which gives 90% 25 = 0.90 25 = 22.5 (the index). Rounding up to the
nearest whole number, you get 23.
Counting from left to right (from the smallest to the largest value in the data
set), you go until you find the 23rd value in the data set. That value is 98, and
its the 90th percentile for this data set.
Problem:
Adele is a very bright child and has high self- esteem because of good
reinforcement and receiving affirmation from her teachers and classmates.
