LESSON PLAN IN MATHEMATICS 7

JUNE 6, 2023
TUESDAY
I. OBJECTIVES:

A. Content Standard: Demonstrates understanding of key concepts, uses and importance of

Statistics, data collection/gathering and the different forms of data presentation, measures of
central tendency, measures of variability and probability.

B. Performance Standards: The learner is able to collect and organize data systematically and
compute accurately measures of central tendency and variability and apply these
appropriately in data analysis and interpretation in different fields.

C. Learning Competency 41a: illustrates the measures of central tendency (mean, median,
and mode) of statistical data. M7SP-IVf-1

Specific Objectives:

1. Calculate the mean, median, and mode of a given set of ungrouped data.
2. Discover mean as the average number, median as the middle number, and mode as the
number that appears the most in a given set of data.
3. Participate actively in group activities and enhance social interaction.

II. SUBJECT MATTER:

Materials Needed: Laptop, projector/television, playing cards, activity sheets,

marker, manila paper, pocket chart

III. PROCEDURE

A. Daily Routine
 Prayer/Greetings
 Classroom Management
 Attendance
 House Rules

B. Motivation
The teacher will ask the students:

Have you ever wondered how

your teachers calculate your grades?

Activity 1: Discovering Mean, Median, Mode

1. The teacher will ask the students to go to their assigned groups.
2. The teacher will distribute a set of playing cards to each group.
Group 1: 10, 6, 7, 10, 8, 4, 10
 Group 2: 5, 8, 7, 9, 2, 8, 5, 5, 1
Group 3: 7, 10, 8, 5, 9, 6, 4, 4, 1, 2, 3
Group 4: 3, 2, 6, 9, 9, 3, 1, 4, 7, 6, 3, 2, 1
3. After distributing the playing cards, the teacher will tell the students that they must follow
the guiding questions that will be given to them.
4. The guiding questions will be given to each group, the GQs are:
a. Arrange your cards from lowest to highest.
b. Add each card to get the sum.
c. After getting the sum, divide it by the number of cards you have (show video).
d. Encircle your answer.
e. Make a box and write inside it the middle number of your cards. You can find it by doing
this (show video).
f. Which number from your cards occurs the most? Write the number inside a triangle
(show video).

5. The students will present the set of cards given to each group.

Group 1: 10, 6, 7, 10, 8, 4, 10

7.9 8
{4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 10, 10}
10

Group 2: 5, 8, 7, 9, 2, 8, 5, 5, 1
{1, 2, 5, 5, 5, 7, 8, 8, 9} 5.6 5
5

Group 3: 7, 10, 8, 5, 9, 6, 4, 4, 1, 2, 3
{1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10} 5.4 5
4

Group 4: 3, 2, 6, 9, 9, 3, 1, 4, 7, 6, 3, 2, 1
{1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 6, 6, 7, 9, 9} 4.3 4
3

6. Tell the students that the number inside the circle is the mean, the number in the triangle is
the median, and the mode is the number inside the triangle.

C. Abstraction
The teacher will recall the question,” Have you ever wondered how your teachers calculate your
grades?”
In statistics, a central tendency (or measure of central tendency) is a central
or typical value for a probability distribution. It may also be called a center or location of the
distribution.
Mean. Mean or “average” is the most commonly used measure of central tendency. It is defined
as the sum of all the data scored divided by the number of scores.
The formula for finding the Mean:

Example: Using Maria Clara Bella’s grades for the Third

Quarter, find the mean,
median, and mode.
 Median. The median is the middle number. First, you arrange the numbers in order from
lowest to highest, then you find the middle number by crossing off the numbers until you
reach the middle.

Note:
When the total number of values is even, add the two middle numbers divided by 2.

Mode. This is the number that occurs most often.

Types of Mode:
1. Unimodal- only one mode
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 8 mode = 8
2. Bimodal- two modes
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 8, 6 modes = 6 and 8
3. Trimodal- three modes
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 8, 6, 12 modes = 6, 8, and 12
4. Multimodal- more than three modes
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 8, 6, 12, 2 modes = 2, 6, 8, and 12
D. Application
Find the mean, median, and mode of the given set of data below.
{7, 5, 2, 7, 6, 10, 2, 5, 5, 4, 7, 1, 8, 1}

E. Assessment
Activity 2: MEAN WARS
Mechanics of the activity
1. Group the class into four.
2. Shuffle to each group a set of cards with the same numbers.
3. Ask the students to find the mean median and mode of the data they have.
4. Explain to them that the game is a lucky game because the higher the cards they have the
higher the chance they win.
5. The score will be tabulated using the sheet below.

6. The winning group will receive a prize.

F. AGREEMENT

Contextualization.
Recall your grades for the 3rd Grading Period. Find the mean, the median, and the mode, and
write your answers on an 8”x11” (short) bond paper.
