Do What I Said, Not What I Say

The teacher calls out a command. Students must follow the previously given command,
not the immediate one.

Teacher Says: “Jump twice.”(Students do nothing.)

Teacher Says: “Dance.”(Students jump twice.)
Teacher Says: “Hug your classmate.”(Students dance.)
Teacher Says: “Clap your hands.”(Students hug their classmate.)
Teacher Says: “Sit down.”(Students clap their hands.)
Teacher Says: “Fold your hands on your desk.”(Students sit down.)
Teacher Says: “Fold your hands on your desk!” (Students fold their hands on their desk and are
ready forthe next lesson.)
d. Review

“WHO AM I”

This game is called “Who Am I.” The teacher will show a graph and tell a little description
about it. The students, on the other hand, will tell what kind of graph do the teacher is showing
or describing

I am a graph that shows the division of a whole

into its parts. Who am I?

I am a graph that uses different length of bars and

equal widths to shows the frequencies for each several
categories. Who am I?

I am a graph that is suitable when we trend of a set

data over a want to show the rising and falling period of
time. Who am I?

I am a vertical bar graph that is used to present a

grouped data. My bars are placed without gaps in
between to show that as one interval ends, the next
interval begins. Who am I?
 I am a graph that can be used to determine how
many data values lie above or below a particular value
in a data set. Who am I?

B. Developmental Activity (Contextualization)

Activity 1

“What I Am”

You Need: 4 strips of paper of unequal length, tape

Task: Find the average length of the strips of paper
What To Do:

1. Tape the strips of paper from end to end.

4 inch 6 inch 2 inch 8 inch

2. Fold the paper into halves twice to form four parts of equal lengths.

3. Measure the length of the folded paper.

5 inch

What this 5 inches represent?

C. Discussion

Measures of Central Tendency

Consider the following set of numbers 5, 4, 3, 2 and 6. Find the average.

What is the average of the given set of numbers?

How do you get the average length of the given set of numbers?
What process did you apply?

x1 + x2 + x3 + ⋯ + xn 5+4+3+2+6 20
Average = = = =4
n 5 5
Finding the mean is same as finding the average, therefore,

1. An appliance store during the first 8 days of their month–long promotion sale at the
Greenhils had the following daily number of stereo component sets sold: 9, 11, 8, 9, 11
and 12. Find the mean.
∑x 9 + 11 + 8 + 9 + 11 + 12 60

3. The prices of a cupcake in 5 bakeries are surveyed and the results are as follows: ₱10, ₱7,
₱8, ₱10 and ₱5. Solve for the mean.

9 teachers of SAN JUAN NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL were surveyed asked their years in
service in the said school. The datas are as follows: 7,10,4,5,15,20,22,7,9,18

Arrange the data in decreasing order.

What number/s is/are in the middle?
Do we have the same number in the middle?
Since the number of data is an even number, the median is the value halfway
between the 2 middle data. Therefore, the median can be determined by getting the
mean of the 2 middle data.
x̃= average of the middle data
What if the number of data is odd ?
x̃ = 𝑚𝑖𝑑𝑑𝑙𝑒 𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑎

1. A shoe store at SM Sta. Mesa was able to sell 5 pairs of black shoes in one day. The
following are the shoe sizes that were sold for that day: 7, 6, 5, 4 and 5. Find the median.

2. An appliance store during the first 8 days of their month–long promotion sale at the
Greenhills had the following daily number of stereo component sets sold: 9, 11, 8, 9, 11
and 12. Find the median.

4. The scores of 7 students of Grade-7 Sunflower in their 10-item quiz are the following: 8,
7, 5, 4, 7, 7 and 6. Find the median.

x̃ = 7

Is there any questions about the median?

1. A shoe store at SM Sta. Mesa was able to sell 5 pairs of black shoes in one day. The
following are the shoe sizes that were sold for that day: 7, 6, 5, 4 and 5.
What no. appears most frequent?
4 5 5 6 7
x̂ = 5
This mode is called unimodal because there is only one number that appears most.

2. An appliance store during the first 8 days of their month–long promotion sale at the
Greenhills had the following daily number of stereo component sets sold: 9, 11, 8, 9, 11
and 12. Find the mode.
 8 9
9 11 11 12
x̂ = 9 and 11
Here, we have 2 modes – 9 and 11. If we have 2 numbers occur most, what do you
call this mode?

3. Dwayne Oliver’s scores in 8 quizzes during the fourth quarter are 9, 3, 6, 4, 8, 8, 4 and 6.
Find the mode.

3 4 4 6 6 8 8 9
x̂ = 4, 6 and 8
What we call this mode?

4. What is the mode of the following numbers?

a. 12, 15, 18, 19
x̂ = no mode

b. 8, 8, 10, 10, 12, 12, 15, 15

x̂ = no mode

What do you think is the reason why we have no mode in the following set of data?
Because all the numbers appear the same number of times.

Try this…

1. The following are the ages of student in culinary class: 18, 17, 15, 17, 18 and 15. Find the
mode.

x̂ = no mode

2. The ages of 8 children at a party are 8, 7, 8, 6, 7, 5, 4, and 9. Find the mode.

x̂ = 8 and 7 (bimodal)

3. The following is a list of the weekly savings of 5 students. Find the mode.
