OBJECTIVES

At the end of the lesson, the students are expected to:

1. formulate a problem applicable to the three measures of central tendency;

2. give importance of the concept of the three measures of central tendency by
applying it in real-life situation;
3. compute for the mean, median, and mode of ungrouped data.

III. PROCEDURE

A. Awareness

1. Greeting
2. Prayer
3. Checking of Attendance
4. Review of past lesson
a. What is summation?
b. Solve for summation
5. Motivation:
Activity: Stop the Music
Materials: a box with questions, speaker, mp3
The teacher will let the students play the game “Stop the Music”. As the music goes, the
students will pass the box to their seatmate. If the music stops, whoever holding the box will get a
strips of paper inside the box and answer the question written on it. If the box will fall, the last
person holding it will answer and get a question inside the box.

B. Activity

The students will be grouped into 3 to present the activity and will be given task cards. Each
group will choose a leader, a secretary and a reporter. The group will be asked to do the indicated
task written in their activity cards.

Materials: Activity card, Manila paper, and a marker

Directions: Read and answer each task carefully. Write your answer on the manila paper.
Group 1:
1. Write the total number of members in your group.
2. Write each member’s grade in Mathematics in the 3 rd grading period.
3. Add all the grades (total grades)
4. Divide the total grades by the total number of members.
Group 2:
 1. Ask each member of the group about their allowance in a day (school day).
2. Arrange it in ascending order.
3. Encircle the middle number.
Group 3:
1. Write each member’s shoe sizes.
2. Write the size that appear most often.

The secretary will post the output of the group and the reporter will read the output of the group.
Rubrics is provided to evaluate each group’s performance.

C. Analysis

The teacher will ask the question below:

1. Does the lowest/highest grade/allowance/shoe size affects the result? Why?

D. Abstraction

The teacher will ask the following questions to the students:

> 1. What do you think is our topic for today?
> 2. What is an ungrouped data?
> 3. What are the three measures of central tendency for ungrouped data?
Mean:
> 4. What is mean?
* a. How to find the mean?
* b. How important is mean in our real-life situation?

 Discussion examples (Mean):

Directions: Read and answer the problem carefully.

1. The grades of student A in a five subjects are 78, 86, 89, 92, and 87. What is her
average grade?
2. The height in cm of 10 college freshmen as follows:
152, 144, 156, 166, 170, 150, 155, 160, 154, and 165. Find the mean height of the
students?

> 5. What is median?

* a. How to find the median?
* b. What is the formula in finding the median if there are two middle numbers?
* c. How important is the median in real-life situation?

 Discussion examples (Median):

Directions: Read and answer the problem carefully.

1. The ages of the patients at the pediatric ward of Hospital X are 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10.
Find the median of the patient’s ages.
2. Find the median score of sophomore students in a Chemistry quiz. 12, 34, 14, 16, 33,
41, 35, 10, 35, 25, 22, 20, 36, 38

> 6. What is mode?

* a. How to find the mode?
* b. How important is the mode in real-life situation?
 Discussion examples (Mode):

Directions: Read and answer the problem carefully.

1. A shoe store manager wants to know what shoe size is sold the most. Below are the
shoe size orders:
35 36 36 37 37 37 37 37 38 38 38 39 40
Which is the best selling shoe size?
2. A restaurant owner tallied the number of pizza orders in his restaurant for the last
seven days. Which

E. Generalization

The teacher will call some students to answer the questions below:
1. What are the three measures of central tendency?
2. How to compute the three measures of central tendency for ungrouped data?

F. Application

The students will answer the problem as their seatwork. The teacher will supervise the students
if they are doing it right. Afterwards, they will check their own paper so they can assess their own
mistake.

Directions:
Find the mean,median, and mode of the following set of data:
1. The score of 10 students in a Mathematics quiz.
25 33 35 45 34 26 29 35 38 40
2. A shampoo manufacturer produces a bottle with an advertised content of 300 ml. A sample
yielded the following contents:
290 297 318306 300 322 307 298 315 296 300

IV. EVALUATION

The students will be grouped into 3. Each group will report their work after the allotted time to
do their tasks. Each group will choose a leader, a secretary and a reporter. The group will do the
indicated task written in their activity cards.

Group 1: Mean
Group 2: Median
Group 3: Mode

Directions: Read each item carefully. Do the indicated task.

1. Formulate a problem where mean/median/ mode is applicable in real-life situation.
2. Using the problem in number 1, find its mean/median/mode.
3. What do you think is the importance of the mean, median, and mode in real-life situation?

The secretary will post the output of the group and the reporter will read the output of the
group. Rubrics is provided to evaluate each group’s performance.

V. ASSIGNMENT
The students will jot down their homework.
Directions: Read and do the indicated task. Write your answer in a whole-sheet of paper.
1. Interview each member of your family. Ask them about the following:
a. Total daily expenses
b. Number of hours they spent in a social media
2. For a and b, find the mean, median, and mode.
