“What is the numerical value in the central
region of a distribution of scores?” (Students will do the activity).
Mechanics of the Game
1. The class will be divided into 5 groups.
2. Each group will be given an envelope which
contains the graphs.
3. Each group will arrange the letters from the
given graphs according to its frequency from
lowest to highest in order to unlock the
mystery phrase.
4. The first group who can guess the mystery
word will be declared as a winner.

B. Development of the Lesson

1.Activity Proper
(Students will do the activity).
“THE CENTRAL STATION”
Mechanics of the Activity
1. The class will be divided into five groups.
2. The teacher will give a specific task.
3. The teacher will give a manila paper to each
group, that they can use in the activity.
4. The students are prohibited to speak during
the activity. They can only communicate
using sign language.
5. Each group will only have five (5) minutes
to finish their task.
6. Each group will be given a flag that they can
raise after they finish the task.
7. Each group will have 1 representative to
present their work.

First task- Each group will arrange their

selves from the smallest to the largest
shoe size and write all their shoe sizes in
inches on manila paper.

Second task- Each group will get the

middle value or average of middle values
of their shoe sizes.

Third Task- Each group will get the most

occur value of their shoe sizes.

Fourth Task- Each group will get the

average of their shoe sizes.

2. Analysis
a. What have you noticed and what did
you do while doing our activity?
b. Based on your second task what did you do (Students answer may vary).

c. Based on your third task the mode can be

d. On your fourth task, for us to get the mean
we have to get what?

3.Abstraction
Measures of Central Tendency
- are significant values that are used to
generalize the data.

Three most common measures of central

tendency.
1.Mean- also known as average, is the sum of
all measurements divided by the number of (Students will participate in the discussion).
data. It is denoted by x .
Formula:
sum of the values
Mean =
the number of values
or simply;

∑𝑥
𝑥̅ =
𝑁

Where:
∑ 𝑥 = the summation of x or (the sum of the
measure)
N = number of the values of x

For example,
One of the projects at GFMNHS is the Project
Cream, last Monday 5 of the sections of from
Grade 7 receive a certificate for their
cleanliness inside the classroom. The total
scores of the five sections are 10, 15, 20, 10
and 25. Calculate and find the mean of the five
sections.

∑𝑥
𝑥̅ = 𝑁
10+15+20+10+25
=
5
80
𝑥̅ = 5
𝑥̅ = 16
Solution:
Therefore, the mean of the five sections from
Grade 7 is 16.

Another example (Students will participate in the discussion).

10 students from this section has an average
grade in their Mathematics subject which are
80, 89, 87, 84, 80, 85, 83, 90, 94, 88
respectively. Calculate and find its mean.

Solution:

∑𝑥
𝑥̅ = 𝑁
80+89+87+84+80+85+83+90+94+88
= 10

𝑥̅ = 86

Therefore, the mean average of the grades of

the 10 students of this section is 86.

2.Median- is the middle value of a given set of

data arranged in either ascending or
decreasing order. To find the median of the
data, do the following ;
a. Arrange from lowest to highest
b.Determine the middle value;
- If the total number of data is odd, there is
exactly one middle value.
- If the total number is even, get the average
of the two middle values.
To find the median position;
𝑛+1
2
For example,
One of the projects at GFMNHS is the Project
Cream, last Monday 5 of the sections of from
Grade 7 receive a certificate for their
cleanliness inside the classroom. The total
scores of the five sections are 10, 15, 20, 10
and 25. Calculate and find the median of the
five sections.

Arranging the data in increasing order, from

lowest to highest.
10, 10, 15, 20, 25

Since the data number of data is an odd

number let’s find its position,
𝑛+1
=
2
5+1
= 2
6
= 2
= 3 is the position

10, 10, 15, 20, 25

Therefore, the median of the five sections from

Grade 7 is 15.

Another example
10 students from this section has an average
grade in their Mathematics subject which are 80,
89, 87, 84, 80, 85, 83, 90, 94, 88 respectively.
Find its median.
(Students will participate in the discussion).
Arranging the data in increasing order, from
lowest to highest.
80, 80, 83, 84, 85, 87, 88, 89, 90, 94

Since the middle point falls halfway between 85

and 87

85+87
Median =
2
172
Median =
2
Median = 86

Therefore, the median of the given data is 86

3.Mode- is the value which occurs most

frequently in a set of data.

For example,
One of the projects at GFMNHS is the Project
Cream, last Monday 5 of the sections of from
 Grade 7 receive a certificate for their
cleanliness inside the classroom. The total
scores of the five sections are 10, 15, 20, 10
and 25. Find the mode of the five sections.

Arranging the data in increasing order, from

lowest to highest.
10, 10, 15, 20, 25

Thus, 10 is the mode of the five section.

Another example
10 students from this section has an average
grade in their Mathematics subject which are 80,
89, 87, 84, 80, 85, 83, 90, 94, 88 respectively.
Find its mode.

Arranging the data in increasing order, from

lowest to highest.
80, 80, 83, 84, 85, 87, 88, 89, 90, 94

Thus, 80 is the mode of this section.
