2. Prayer
Let us pray first, may I ask someone to lead the (a student leads the prayer)
prayer?

3. Checking of Attendance
Anybody who is absent?
It’s good to know that all are present today.
None sir.

B. Developmental Tasks
1. Drill
Before we proceed, I prepared a test for you on
how fast you can answer some questions.
Yes sir
Are you ready?

If you want to answer, kindly raise your right

hand.
a. 8+13+7+19+8+10+14+17(call a student)
The answer is 96 sir
 Very good. Another one.
b. 96/8 (call a student)
Answer is 12 sir.
Very good. Let us give 3 claps for them class.

2. Motivation
Class, this morning we will have an exciting
game. Are you ready?
This game is called “FILL ME”.
Mechanics:

Write the letters on the box that corresponds each

number in the alphabet. Two minutes to
complete the game.

I will group you into two . In two minutes, the

group that can finish first or does more correct
answer will be the winner. I will give 4 points for
the first and 2 points for the second so it is up to
you to think how you will do the task to attain
your goal and after 2 minutes you post your
works on the board.

Understand class?

So the first group will be column 1 to column 3

Yes, sir.
and the second group will be column 4 to column
6.
Now, go to your groups and be ready.
In the count of 3,

Ready start.
(After 2 minutes)

Class, time is up. Please post your works on the

board now.
 And group 1 got the most correct answer
therefore they were the first and got 4 points. The
other group is 2 points only. M EA S U R E S O F

B. Lesson Proper

1. Discussion

-Based on our games, what do you think is our

topic for today?

-Exactly! Today let us learn together the

“Measures of Central Tendency. “MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY”
So, when hearing this measure of central
tendency, what comes in to your mind?

(One of the students will answer.)

-Sir. It is all about measures of central

-A measure of central tendency is a single,

central value that summarizes a set of

numerical data.

-Mean – the most commonly used of

Mean is given in the formula, measures of central tendency. It is found by
s adding the values of the data and divide it by
Mean= the total number of data.
n
Where s is the sum of all data and n is the
number of data.
First example:
The Math scores of 10 students are 85, 80, 88,
84, 87, 89, 83, 80, 94, and 90.
So, from the formula given, let us try to analyze
and then substitute the given to the formula.
s
Mean=
n
80+88+ 84+87+ 89+83+80+ 94+ 90
=
10
860
=
10
Mean= 86
Hence, the mean grade of the 10
students is 86.

Second example:

From our game a while back, I want

you to get the corresponding nos. of
the word MEASURES then find for the
mean using the formula.

Try to solve it in your notebook, and I

will be calling somebody to solve it on
the board. s
Mean=
n
May I ask someone to come to the
board and show his/her answer? 13+5+1+19+21+18+5+19
=
8
Yes________. 101
=
8

Mean= 12.63

Thank you. Let us check your answer.

-Very good the answer is correct.

-Yes sir.
How about the others? Did you get the correct
answer?
-Yes sir.
-Do you understand now how to solve
the mean of the given data?

-Okay, let us proceed to the second

measure of central tendency, the Median – is the midpoint of an
Median. array. The median will be either a
Everybody read! specific value or will fall between
two values.

-To find the median, you must arrange

first in ascending order or vice versa,
then look for the middle value of the
data set.

First example
The Math grades of 10 students are 80,
85, 88, 84, 87, 89, 83, 80, 90 and 94. 80, 80, 83, 84, 85, 87, 88, 89, 90, 94

- Who can arrange it in increasing 85 and 87

order?

- In which value does the middle

point falls?

- Since, the middle point falls

between two values, to find the
median, we need to get the
mean of the two values.
85+87
Md =

172
=
2
Md = 86
Second example
The five players of basketball team
have the score of 10, 15, 20, 10, and
25.
10, 10, 15, 20, 25
To find the median, we need to
arrange the data in increasing, that is, -15 Sir.
from least to greatest or vice – versa.

-Who can arrange the values in

increasing order?
-Yes sir.
-In which value does the middle point
falls?
-Mode – is the value that occurs
most often in the data set. A data
-Since the middle point falls in only one
can have more than one mode or
value, therefore the median is 15.
none at all.
-Do you understand now how to find
the median of the given data?

-This time, let us proceed to the next

measure of central tendency, the
Mode.
 Everybody read!

-To find the mode of a set of data, we

are to consider the following:
-23
a) Select the measure that
appears the most often.
Example
The scores of 10 students in their pre- -It appears often but 24 only occurs
test and post-test are 22, 23, 20, 23, twice. And 23 have the greatest
24, 25, 26, 23, 24, and 27. number that appears in the given
set of data.
-Which score appears the most often in
the given set?

-Therefore, 23 is the mode of the given

set.

-Why is it 23 and not 24? Since 24 also

appears often in the given set of data.

-Very good!

b) If two or more measures appear -206 and 301

the same number of times, then
each of the value is a mode.

Example
The weights of eight boxing players
are recorded as follows (in pounds);
206, 215, 206, 305, 282, 301, 301, 266
-What value appears the same number
of times in the given set of data?

-Therefore, the mode of the given set

of data is 206 and 301.

c) If every measure appears the -Every value in the data.

same number of times, then the
set of data has no mode. -The given set of data has no mode.
Example -Every value in the set of data
In the MTAP competition, the 10 appears the same number of times.
participants have the scores of 21, 19,
20, 20, 23, 30, 23, 30, 21, and 19.
-Yes sir.
-What value appears the same number
of times in the given set?
 None sir.
-Therefore, what is the mode?

-Why is it that the given set of data

has no mode?

-Do you understand now how to find

the mode of a given set?

-Any question?

To sum it up. I have here the lyrics of a song, I
want you all to sing after I sing to you the

When you forgot about measures of central
tendency, you can sing this song.

-Very good everyone.

members each. Each member of the group will
