A Semi-Detailed Lesson Plan in Teaching Percentiles for Grouped Data

I. LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to:

Knowledge: identify percentiles for grouped data and its key concepts;

Skill: solve the value of the specific percentile for grouped data; and

Attitude: develop patience and perseverance in finding the percentiles for grouped data.

II. SUBJECT MATTER

A. Topic: Percentiles for Grouped Data
B. References: Mathematics Learner’s Module for Grade 10 Pages 390-392
C. Materials: Manila Paper, Permanent Marker, Chalk and Chalkboard.
D. Strategies/Methods Used: Discovery Method, and Student-Centered Approach
E. Values Integration: Patience, Perseverance, Collaboration, and Hardworking
III. LEARNING STRATEGIES
A. Preparation
1. Daily Routine
a. Prayer
b. Checking of Attendance
c. Review/ recall : Let the students recall the formula in getting the value of nth quartile and
decile for grouped data.
Quartile

( )
kΣF
−c f b

Qk =LB+ i
f qk

Deciles

( )
kΣF
−c f b

D k = LB+ i
f dk

B. Motivation
Activity: 4Pics1Word
 Let the students think of a word that is accurate to the 4 pictures.
C. Presentation
 Let the students create a sentence or phrase using some of the words they have formed.
 By applying the previous learning, let the student guess the topic for the day.

D. Lesson Proper
  In the same manner as calculating the quartiles and deciles, 𝑃𝑘 class is the class interval where

( k100Σ F ) th

score is contained. In computing the percentile of grouped data, the following formula is used:

( )
kΣF
−c f b
100
Pk =LB+ i
f pk
Where:
LB = Lower Boundary of the 𝑃𝑘 class ΣF = total frequency

cf b = cumulative frequency before the class the PK class

f 𝑃
Pk = frequency of the 𝑘 class
i = size of class interval
k = nth percentile, where n=1, 2, 3, …, 97, 98, and 99
Example #1
Calculate the 65th and 32nd percentile of the Mathematics test scores of 50 students.
Scores Frequency
46-50 4
41-45 8
36-40 11
31-35 9
26-30 12
21-25 6
 Let the students complete the table by writing the answers on the table posted on the board.
 Solution #1
CI f LB <cf Hence, 𝑃65 = 38 and
46-50 4 45.5 50 𝑃32 = 29.67
41-45 8 40.5 46
36-40 11 35.5 38
31-35 9 30.5 27
26-30 12 25.4 18 E. Enrichment Group Activity:
21-25 6 20.5 6
 (In a group of 5.) Students will be given another activity which contains the
data distribution found below. Each grouped should be asked to find:
Group 1: 𝑃15
Group 2: P24 Class interval f
Group 3: P38 61 - 65 10
Group 4: 𝑃65 56 – 60 9
Group 5: 𝑃90 51 – 55 8
46 – 50 1
F. Generalization 41 – 45 5
36 – 40 2
How do we compute the 31 - 35 9 value of the nth percentile?
26 - 30 5
In computing the value of the nth percentile, we must follow the
21 - 25 1

( )
kΣF
−c f b
following formula: 100
Pk =LB+ i
f pk

IV. ASSESSMENT

Calculate the 10th and 55th percentile of the following grouped data.
 Class f
Interval
110 – 119 2
100 – 109 5
90 – 99 10
80 – 89 14
70 – 79 16
60 – 69 10
50 – 59 8
N=65

V. ASSIGNMENT

Calculate the 15th, 21st, 32nd, 39th, 75th, 87th, and 94th percentile of the following grouped data.
Class f
Interval
151 – 160 8
141 – 150 12
131 – 140 6
121 – 130 10
111 – 120 7
101 – 110 11
91 – 100 13
81 – 90 9
71 – 80 4
