what? Sir, last meeting our topic was all about data
Very Good! in graphs particularly kinds of graph.

Again, what are those different kinds of (Student will stand up)
graphs? The different kinds of graphs are bar graph,
histogram, line graph, pictograph and pie
Nice! Very good! chart or circle graph.

So, are we clear with kinds of graphs? Yes Sir! (Chorus)

B. Motivation
Class before we move to the next topic, let’s (Students will listen to the direction or
play a 4-PICS-1-WORD game. Of course, in this mechanics of the game)
game, 4 pictures will be presented and you
are going to guess what those pictures tell or
what is common on those 4 pictures. If you
got the answer, then raise your hand and do
not answer in chorus? Is that clear?
Yes Sir! (Chorus)

paper)

Are you through? (Students will listen while answering)

Ok! Answer the following questions. Do

not copy the questions just write your
answers in your ¼ sheet of paper.

1.) What grade is typical to the group of

students?
(For number 1, typical means usual or
average. Try to compute the average of
grades of top 7 G7 Dalton students in their
periodical test in Mathematics last quarter.
You can use your calculators for computing
the average.)
2.) What grade appears to be in the middle?
(And for number 2, as we can you can see,
grades are already arranged in ascending
order, the question is what grade appears in
the middle or what grade is the middle?)
(Students will pass their papers to the
center aisle then forward.)
3.) What grade frequently appears? (For
number 3, what grade frequently appears?
Or what is the most common value? Or
the most frequently occurring value or
(Student will stand up)
case.)
Sir the typical grade or the average to the
group students is 92.14.
Ok! Finished or not finished. Pass your
papers to the center aisle then forward. 1, 2,
3…

2. Analysis Student will stand up)

(Draw lots for recitation) 93 Sir!

What grade is typical to the group of It is arranged in

students? Yes? ascending order, Sir.

Very good!
Seven scores, Sir and it
is odd.
What grade appears to be in the middle?
Yes?

What have you noticed with the order of (Student will stand up)
the students score? 93 also Sir!
Yes, it is.

How many scores do we have? It is odd or

even?

Very good!

Very good!

Teaching or Modelling

Here is our topic outline.

For today, we are going to talk about:
Measures of Central Tendency for
Ungrouped Data
- Mean (Arithmetic Mean) Yes Sir! (Chorus)
- Population Mean
- Sample Mean
- Median
- Mode
- Types of Mode (Student will read the definition of
population mean and its formula)
Please read and understand the definition of
Mean. Yes?
 Arithmetic Mean - is computed by summing
all the values of the variable in the data set
divided by the number of observations.

Thank you!
Ok! While your classmate is reading some
information, everyone please listen to him
/her. Study and understand the
information being presented. So, you can
also take notes of the important
information or keywords.

Understood?

Next! Please read! Yes?

Population Mean, µ (mew)

Let X1, X2, …, XN be the N
observations of a variable
from a population and N be
the population size.

The population
mean is

(Student will read the definition and

formula of sample Mean)

Thank you!

Please read! Yes? Sample

Mean, 𝑥̅ (x-bar)
Let x1, x2, …, xn be the n observations of a
variable from a sample and n be the sample
size.

The sample mean (Student will stand up)

is Average Sir!

(Student will stand up)

Thank you! The formulas for sample mean are almost
the same but other variables and the
To make it simple, the keyword for mean is representations differ. But I think Sir, the
… Yes? process of computing or computation is just
the same for the both.
Exactly! Or Mean is the average of all
values. (Student will stand up)
Population is the entire group.
Aside from that what did you noticed?
Yes?
(Student will stand up)
Sample is a subset or just a part of a
Very good!
population.
 (Student will listen and will take down notes)
Anyways, what do you mean by
population? Yes?
Very good!

How about the sample?

Yes?
Very good also!
Student will stand up)
You can use the formula:
3 Sir!
𝑆𝑢𝑚 𝑜𝑓 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑠𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒𝑠
Mean = 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒𝑠
For both population or sample mean or
whether the data is a population or a sample. (Student will stand up) 8
Sir!
Let say for example, we have here
observations:
Yes Sir! (Chorus)
1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. What is the average or the
mean of these observations?

Very good!

How about if we have 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. What is

the mean of these observations? Yes? Median

(Student will read the definition of median)

Are we clear with Mean or Arithmetic
Mean?

How about the second measure of central

tendency for ungrouped data.

It is the value that lies in the middle of the data?

Very good!

Please read! Yes?

Median
It is the value that lies in the middle of the data
when arranged in ascending order or decreasing (Students will read case 1)
order of magnitude.

To get the median use the formula for Case 1

and Case 2 (Students will read case 2)
Let X(1), X(2), X(3), …, X(N) be the N
observations arranged in an array form where N
= data size

Case 1: If the number of data is odd, (Student will stand up) Middle Sir!

Case 2: If the number of data is even, No Sir! (In chorus)

 So, the keyword for median is … Yes?
(Student will stand up) 3
Let’s say for example. Sir!
Odd Sir!

Are the data arranged or not?

So, we must arrange it from ascending or
descending order first or into an array.
We have here now, 1, 3 and 4.
How many observations do we have? Is
that an odd or an even?
(Student will stand up) 3
Sir!
If we have an odd number of observations Sir,
it is easy to find the median. That means
there is only one item in the middle of
observations sir or we can use the formula for
case 1.

Very good!

So, what’s the median of the given set of data? (Student will stand up)
The median Sir is 2.5 because if we have an
even number of observations, the median is
the average of the 2 middle observations. Or
we can use the formula:

2+ 3
3+1 Median = = 2.5
Median = = 2. Therefore, it is the 2
2
second data which is 3.

How about if we have 1, 2, 3 and 4. What is the

median of the given set of data?

Very good! Exactly!

Ok! Listen! Median is not affected by

extreme values or excessive values because
we are just arranging the observations into Yes Sir! (In chorus)
array and we are just taking the middle
observations, the rest of the excessive values
will no longer be used.
(Student will read the definition of mode)
Compare to mean, which is affected by the
extreme values or excessive values because all
the observations were took in considerations
or all observations are used in the
computation.
Am I making myself clear? Ok!

How about the mode? Who wants to read?

Yes?

Mode (Student will read the types of mode)

It is the most frequently occurring
observation in the data set. The value
which occurs most often or with the
greatest frequency.
 Thank you!

How about the Types of Mode? Please (Student will stand up)
read. Yes? MOST FREQUENT Sir!
No mode – A data having equal frequency of
observations.
Unimodal – A data having one mode. No mode Sir! (In chorus)
Bimodal – A data having two modes.
Multimodal – a data having more than two
modes (Student will stand up) Mo = 1, Unimodal

Thank you!
So the keyword for mode is … Yes? Very

(Student will answer the question)

Let’ say for example, we have 1, 2, and 3. Average of all values or sum of values
What’s the mode? divided by the number of observations
Very good!

How about if we have 1, 1, 2 and 3. What’s the (Student will answer the question)
mode? What type of mode? Add all the data and divide the sum by the
Very good number of data

3. Abstraction (Student will answer the question) Value

Again, what is mean? that lies in the middle of the data when
arranged in ascending or
descending order of magnitude or middle term
Very good! in an array of observations

How do you find or compute the mean?

Very good! (Student will answer the question)

First, we must remember the two cases. If
What is median? the number of observations is odd, the
median is only one item at the center. But
when the number of observations is even,
then median is the average of the two middle
observations.
Very good!
(Student will answer the question)
How do you find or compute the median? Most common value or the most frequent
value

Very good! (Student will answer the question)

No mode, unimodal, bimodal and
multimodal

(Student will answer the question)

What is mode?
Observe the given data then count the
data that frequently appears.
Very good!

What are the different types of modes?

How do you find the mode? Students listen attentively.

 Very good!
