LESSON PLAN IN MATHEMATICS

I. OBJECTIVES:
1. Define the three measures of central tendency.
2. Compute for the mean, median, and mode of ungrouped data.
3. Apply the concept of the three measures of central tendency in raw data.
4. Cooperate actively in a group activity.

II. SUBJECT MATTER:

A. TOPIC: Measures of Central Tendency of Ungrouped Data
B. REFERENCE: e-Math by Orlando A. Oronce and Marilyn O. Mendoza, pp. 513-517
C. MATERIALS: Powerpoint Whiteboard
Marker
D. SUBJECT INTEGRATION: Biology
E. SKILL/S: Computing
F. VALUES: Cooperation, Sportsmanship
G. CONCEPT: To compute for the mean, add all the given data and divide it to the number
of data given. For the median, if the number of ordered raw data is odd, the median is in
the middle position, and if even, the mean of the two middle data of an ordered data is the
median. The number that appears most often in a collection is the mode.

III. PROCEDURES:
A. PRE-DEVELOPMENTAL ACTIVITY
1. Drill
Solve for the summation of the following.
a. 35, 30, 11, 9, 23
b. 115, 109, 109, 118, 104, 109
2. Motivation
Ask the students the following questions:
a. Have you ever experienced to compute the average of your grades for you wanted
to compare it with your other classmates’ grades? How did you compute it?
b. Have you ever experienced to check the papers of your classmates in a test,
organizing them, and knowing who will divide the results into two equal groups?
c. Have you ever experienced to determine your grade that you always encounter in
your report card?
d. Do you know that in these everyday experiences at school, we always encounter
the three measures of central tendency? Why do you say so?

B. DEVELOPMENTAL ACTIVITY
1. Presentation
Consider the following data of scores of 10 students in a Mathematics test.
24, 18, 19, 20, 24, 26, 27, 20, 23, 19
Find the mean, median and mode.

To find the mean, find the summation of all the data and divide by the total number of
scores.

2. EXERCISES
a. Compute for the mean, median, and mode of the following raw data:
1. 80, 81, 79, 74, 82, 81, 81, 79, 85
2. 24, 18, 19, 20, 24, 26, 27, 20, 23, 19

3. Group Activity: Operation: Bull’s-eye!

Group the students into two groups.
Mechanics:
Every group will be given a dartpin. They are going to shoot the dartboard which
is 2 meters away from them. Then, they will pick a question inside the numbered box
that represents a certain number in the dartboard. Each color in the dartboard
represents a certain score, e.g. green-2 points, orange-3 points, and blue-1 point. But,
when one of the players of a group got hit the cherry (color black at the center of the
dartboard), they will get 4 points and are exempted to answer questions.
Below is the population of some municipality in Masbate. The two groups will
refer to the table below in answering the questions which they had picked inside the
numbered boxes. They are given two minutes only to answer each question.
Municipality Population
2010 (Approximated)
Baleno 24,000
Balud 35,000
Batuan 17,000
Cataingan 49,000
Claveria 41,000
Dimasalang 25,000
Esperanza 17,000
Mandaon 38,000
Milagros 52,000
Mobo 34,000
Monreal 25,000
Palanas 25,000
Pio V. Corpuz 23,000
San Fernando 21,000
San Jacinto 27,000
San Pascual 44,000
For example, one of the groups gets the question: What is the mode of the
population of Masbate? Ans: 25,000.

Integration: In Biology, Population is the total number of species living in a community.

In Mathematics particularly in Statistics, the number of population is being studied for
certain research purpose.

C. POST-DEVELOPMENTAL ACTIVITY
1. Valuing:
Questions:
1. Did your groupmates cooperate well during the activity for the sake of
winning the game?
2. Did your groupmates never make any dirty tactics during the game?
How do you say so?
3. Why is it necessary to maintain sportsmanship in every games we join?
4. Why is it necessary to utilize teamwork in every group activity?
5. If your group did not come up the correct answer to the problem, what
measures can you advice to your groupmates next time?
2. Generalization:
Questions:
 1. Call some students and ask them how to solve the three measures of
central tendency of ungrouped data.

IV. EVALUATION:
A. Find the mean, median, and mode of the following raw scores: (3 points each)
1. 34, 11, 49, 54, 54, 64, 59, 47
2. 121, 112, 102, 108, 106, 116, 124, 162, 175, 102, 106

B. Solve each problem. (4 points)

1. The ages of 20 guests at a party are 22, 23, 24, 32, 27, 28, 29, 27, 7, 20, 22, 81, 33,
27, 26, 24, 19, 20, 21, and 33. Find the typical age or the mode and the average.

C. Compare mean, median, and mode with each other. (4 points)

V. ASSIGNMENT:

Compute for the mean, median, and mode of your grades in your 1st and 2nd Grading
Period in any of your report cards and in any class year.
