A Detailed Lesson Plan in Mathematics 7

Grade 7-Gem, Ruby, and Diamond

I. Objectives

At the end of 60-minute discussion, 85% of the students with 85% proficiency should be
able to:

Content Standard: The learner demonstrates understanding of key concepts, uses

and importance of Statistics, data collection/gathering and the
different forms of data presentation;
Performance Standard: The learner is able to collect and organize data
systematically and compute accurately;
Learning Competency: The learner illustrates the measure of central tendency
through mean, median and mode.

Specifically, the learners should be able to:

* define the measure of central tendency;
* find the measure of central tendency of a given
statistical data;
* describe the data using information from the mean,
median and mode.

PRELIMINARY ACTIVITIES

Prayer and Greetings

Everybody please stand up and let us pray. Can
somebody please lead the prayer? (Student leads the prayer.)

Good morning, class! Good morning, Ma'am Emily!

Class, before you sit down, please pick up the

pieces of paper under your chairs.

Is there an absent today? None, Ma'am Emily.

 Very good.
You may now all be seated.

REVIEW

Who wants to share to the class what we studied

yesterday? We have discussed about the frequency
distribution.
That's correct. Now, who wants to explain what
frequency distribution is? Frequency distribution is a table that
displays frequencies for the different
categories or values of a counting variable
Very well said. Aside from the frequency or class intervals.
distribution, what else did we discuss?

Pictograph. It is a diagram that uses pictures

to represent number data or statistics.

Table. A systematic arrangement of data

usually arranged in rows or columns for
ready reference of information.

Bar Graph. It uses bars of different lenghts

and of equal widths to show the frequencies
for each of several categories.

Linegraph. It is most suitable when we want

Very good. to show the rising and falling trend of a set
of data over a period of time.
MOTIVATION

Now, who's ready to learn something new today?

Who's ready to play a game? We are.

You first task is to go around and ask for your

classmates' ages. Separate the girls from the boys.

Find the average age of girls and boys. Find also

the students with the same ages and then, arrange
the ages in ascending or descending order and
encirle the middle age. Students are performing the tasks.

Do you know that the average age you solved for
earlier is actually a measure of central tendency?
Do you know what a measure of central tendency
is?
Very good. Does anyone of you know any
measure of central tendency?
That's correct.
Can anyone tell me what is the formula for finding
the mean?
for finding the median? and for finding the mode?
Now, who wants to play another game?
Our game will be:
AMAZING RACE TO NUMBERS
(Divide the class into three groups.)
Now, that you all have your groups. You should
assign two as runners. They will run using only
Yes. No.
A measure of central tendency is a single,
central value that summarizes a set of
numerical data.
Mean. It is the sum of data divided by the
number of data.
Median. It is the middle number of the set
of data when the data are arranged in
numerical order.
Mode. The number that occurs most
frequently in the data.
The formula for finding the mean is
𝒔
Mean=
𝒏
Where s is the sum of all data and n is the number
of data.
The formula for finding the median is
Median=(𝒏+𝟏

)
Mode is the number that appears the most.
If the given numbers Mode does not
exist.We also say, mode is not defined.
 one foot and will get to look at a set of number
data that I have prepared. You will write the data
in a manila paper or cartolina. Now, your task is to
solve for the average grade or mean of each row of
grades per subjects and find out the median and
mode per column or per quarter. Just make sure
that you got the right numbers. Remember, this is
a race so whichever group finishes first gets plus 5
points.

Are you ready? Yes Ma’am Emily

You only have 20 minutes and it starts now.

About the Lesson

What you have solved for earlier is measure of

central tendency. What is measure of central
tendency again? It is a single, central value that summarizes
a set of numerical data.

Again, what are the three examples of measure of

central tendency? Mean. It is the sum of data divided by the
number of data.

Median. It is the middle number of the set

of data when the data are arranged in
numerical order.

Mode. The number that occurs most

frequently in the data.
Very good, class.

Finding Practical Applications of Concepts and

Skills in Daily Living

In your life, who or what do you think is the

central tendency? Answers may vary.

When do you think mean, median and mode are

essential? Answers may vary.

Evaluating Learning

Moving on, please bring out a pen and a half sheet

of pad paper and answer the following:
You and your friends are comparing the number of
times you have been to the movies in the past year.
The following table illustrates how many times
each person went to the movie theatre in each
month.

Jan. Feb. Mar. Apr. May

John 1 3 2 5 2
Mary 1 2 1 1 1
Brian 1 3 2 2 1
Kelly 2 2 1 1 3
 June July Aug Sept. Oct. Nov. Dec
3 1 4 2 3 2 1
3 3 2 2 4 1 2
4 5 3 2 2 1 3
2 4 1 3 2 3 1

1.By comparing modes, which person went to the

movies the least per month?
2. By comparing medians, which person went to
the movies the most per month?
3. Rank the friends in order of most movies seen
to least movies seen by comparing their means.
4. Which month, by comparing the means of
movies seen in each month, is the most popular
movie-watching month?
5. By comparing medians, which month is the
least popular month?
6. What is the mean of the medians for each month
(the arithmetic average of the medians of the
number of movies seen in each month)? Students are performing the tasks

Time is up. Exchange papers with your seatmates.

Answer 1: Mary (Her mode is 1)

Answer 2: They all went the same amount
(The medians are all 2)
Answer 3: 1. John and Brian (Their mean is
2.42), 2. Kelly (Her mean is 2.17), 3. Mary
(Her mean is 1.92)
Answer 4: July (The mean for July is 3.25)
Answer 5: January (The median for January
is 1)
Answer 6: 2.08
Very good, class. Please pass your papers now.

Before we say goodbye, I want you to stand up

and dab if you fully understood the lesson, remain
seated if not.
Students stand up and dab.

Very good, class. Let’s call it a day.

Goodbye.

Additional Activities for Application and

Remediation

IV. Agreement

1. Find the prices of 5 different brands of sodas or iced tea in bottle. Find the mean
price for each bottle. Find also the median and mode.
2. Amor drinks an average of 2 bottles a day. Using the mean price obtained in
question 1, calculate how much Amor can save if she gives up drinking sodas/iced
tea for a week? A month? A year?
3. Is drinking sodas or iced tea in bottles healthy? Research on their effects on our
health. Discuss your findings in class.
