A Detailed Lesson Plan in Mathematics 8

I. Objectives: At the end of the lesson, the students are expected to:
a) Define mean, median and mode;
b) Solve for the mean, median and mode of Ungrouped Data; and
c) Relate the importance of "Measures of Central Tendency of Ungrouped Data"
in real life situation.

II. Subject Matter: “Measures of Central Tendency of Ungrouped Data”

Concepts:
Mean – the most commonly used of measures of central tendency. It is
used to describe a set of data where the measures cluster or concentrate at a point. It is
found by adding the values of the data by the total number of values.
Median – is the midpoint of an array. The median will be either a specific
value or will fall between two values.
Mode – is the value that occurs most often in the data set. It is the value
with the greatest frequency. A data can have more than one or none at all.

III. Procedure

Teachers Activity Students Activity

A. Developmental Task

- Please all stand for a prayer. Mary - (Students will pray)

Sheen please led a prayer.

- Good Morning class. - Good Morning Ma’am.

- Before you take your seat please

pick up the pieces of papers under
your chairs.

- You may now take your seats.

 - Say present as I call your name. - (Students will say present when
their name are called.)
B.) Review
Class, yesterday we discussed about
Summation.
So, as you can see on the board, there
are sets of given data.

X1 = 85 X6 = 89

X2 = 80 X7 = 83

X3 = 88 X8 = 80

X4 = 84 X9 = 94

X5 = 87 X10 = 90

So, who would like to come to the board

and solve for the Summation of the given
data?

Solve:

a) ∑10
𝑖=1 𝑋 a) ∑10
𝑖=1 𝑋 = X1 + X2 + X3+ … + X10
= 85 + 80 + 88 + 84+ 87 + 89 +
83 + 80 + 94 + 90
∑10
𝑖=1 𝑋 = 860

b) ∑5𝑖=1 𝑋 b) ∑5𝑖=1 𝑋 = X1 + X2 + X3 + X4 + X5
= 85 + 80 + 88 + 84 + 87
 ∑10
𝑖=1 𝑋 = 424

c) ∑10
𝑖=6 𝑋 c) ∑10
𝑖=6 𝑋 = X6 + X7 + X8 + X9 + X10
= 89 + 83 + 80 + 94 + 90
10
∑𝑖=6 𝑋 = 436

C.) Motivation
Class, this morning we will have an
exciting game. Are you ready?
The title of our game is “FILL ME”.

learning objectives. Everybody read!
Objectives

expected to:
a) Define mean, median and
mode;
b) Solve for the mean, median and
mode of Ungrouped Data; and
c) Relate the importance of
"Measures of Central Tendency of
Ungrouped Data" in real life
situation.

- When you hear the word or group

of words “Measures of Central
- (Students share their thoughts
Tendency of Ungrouped Data”,
constructively)
what does it mean? Anyone?

E.) Lesson Proper
- Class, there are three measures of central
tendency. The first is the Mean.
Everybody read!
Mean – the most commonly used of
measures of central tendency. It is used to
describe a set of data where the measures
cluster or concentrate at a point. It is found
by adding the values of the data by the total
number of values.

Mean is given in the formula,

∑𝑋
𝑋̅ = 𝑁

Where:
∑ 𝑥 − the sum of all the values of the
given data
N – the number of values of X.

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.
∑𝑋
𝑋̅= 𝑁

80+88+84+87+89+83+80+94+90
= 10
860
= 10

̅ = 86
𝑿 Solution:
∑𝑋
𝑋̅= 𝑁
- Hence, the mean grade of the 10
students is 86. 10+15+20+10+25
= 5
80
Second example = 5
̅ = 16
𝑿
The five players of basketball team have
the scores of 10, 15, 20, 10, and 25.
Now, try to solve it in your notebook, and - Therefore, the mean score of the

- Yes Maam!

Median – is the midpoint of an array. The

- Do you understand now how to median will be either a specific value or
solve the mean of the given data? will fall between two values.

- Okay, let us proceed to the second

measure of central tendency.
- 80, 80, 83, 84, 85, 87, 88, 89, 90,
94
Everybody read!
First example - 85 and 87

The Math grades of 10 students are 80, 85,

88, 84, 87, 89, 83, 80, 90 and 94.

- Who can arrange it in increasing

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 = 2

172
= 2 - 10, 10, 15, 20, 25
Md = 86

Second example - 15 !
The five players of basketball team have
the score of 10, 15, 20, 10, and 25.
- Yes ma’am!
To find the median, we need to arrange
the data in increasing, that is, from least to
greatest or vice – versa.

Who can arrange the values in increasing

order? Mode – is the value that occurs most often
in the data set. It is the value with the
In which value does the middle point greatest frequency. A data can have more
falls? than one or none at all.

Since the middle point falls in only one

value, therefore the median is 15.

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.

Everybody read! - 23

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

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

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 - 206 and 301

appears often in the given set of data.
 Very good!
2) If two or more measures appear 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 - Every value in the data.
times in the given set of data?

Therefore, the mode of the given set of - The given set of data has no more.
data is 206 and 301.

3) If every measure appears the same

number of times, then the set of data - Every value in the set of data
has no mode. appears the same number of times.

Example - Yes ma’am!

In the MTAP competition, the 10

participants have the scores of 21, 19, 20, - None ma’am!
20, 23, 30, 23, 30, 21, and 19.

- What value appears the same

number of times in the given set?

- 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? - Yes ma’am .

Any question?

F.) Activity
- If there is no question, I have here an
activity for you to answer.
- Okay, listen carefully for the instruction.
I will group you into two groups, this will
be the group 1, and this will be the group
2. Please select your leader and reporter to
present your work.
-The question is already there, so you
must follow the instruction.
- I will give you five minutes and after
that, present it in the class. Understand?
- Your time starts now!
- To find the mean, just simply add all the
values if the given set of the data then
divide by the total number of values.
- To find the median, just arrange all the
values and get the middle value.
-To find the mode, just look at the value
that occurs most.
