Review: Ask the students what the lesson last meeting was. The lesson last meeting was about statistics which deals with
the collection, classification, analysis, and interpretation of numerical facts or data.

Raw data are data which are not yet sorted or arranged according to some criteria or some systematic consideration.

We arrange the raw data from lowest to highest.

Concepts: The meaning of raw data is. Raw data are data which are not yet sorted or arranged according to some criteria or
some systematic consideration. Raw data are arranged from lowest to highest.

Pedagogy/Strategy: Deductive Approach, Cooperative Learning, Brain storming

Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity

Ma’am our topic for today is all about

central tendency. The mean, median and
mode.
Very good. May I ask five students to go in
front? We call the value in the middle the
median,
I will arrange them by height. (Name of
student) is the middle person, so he/she is our? (students arranged by height)
Ma’am, (name) is in the middle so he/she
is our median.
Absolutely. Give him/her three claps. Class,
what will we do in our gathered data? Sir the gathered data is arranged in
descending or ascending order.

Good, I have here three different colored

blocks, the value of the red block is 3, for the
green block is 4 and for the yellow block is 4 . Ma’am the green block is the median,
They are shuffled, anyone who wants to arrange because it is in the middle.
either in descending or ascending order and
determine the median and explain why.

Very good, give him/her three claps. That is

how we get the median. Did you understand Yes Ma’am.
class?
Great, take your seats. How about if we have an Ma’am if there are even amount of values,
even amount of values? Does anyone know the two middle values are added and
how to get the median? divided by two.

Absolutely, give him/her three claps.can you

show to the class how? Given these six values. Ma’am the middle values are 3 and 4.
(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) what are the middle values?

Correct; so what is our median? Ma’am 3 plus 4 is equal to 7 divided by 2

and we get 3.5 as the answer. So the
median is 3.5.

Good. That was easy right? Yes Ma’am

Are there questions so far? None Ma’am

Given this set of numbers (13, 18, 13, 14, 13, Ma’am the sum of all the given values is
16, 14, 21, 13) find their sum. So what is the 135
total?

That’s right; now divide it by how many values Ma’am there are nine values
are in the given data.

Ok, so 135 divided by 9 is? Ma’am 135 divided by 9 is 15

Very good, give him/her three claps.

What is it when we add and divide? Look back Ma’am we add and divide for the mean.
into the song.

Great. So 15 is our mean. Does anyone know Ma’am the other term for mean is average.
the other term for mean?

Absolutely, can somebody give me an example Ma’am it is when we compute for our final
in real life to where we use this mean? grade to get the average.

Correct; class I have here 3 cups and sticks; I (A student will count the number of sticks
need a volunteer to count the sticks per cup and inside the cups to get the mean.)
get the total number of sticks. Find the mean Ma’am we have a total of 18 sticks in all
and place the sticks in each cup equally. three cups, we divide 18 by three and we
get 6. The mean is 6. So there must be 6
sticks per cup.

Well said. What have you noticed about the Ma’am I have noticed that the sticks are
cups with sticks? distributed equally.

None Ma’am

(students hold the colored sticks)

Ma’am the color of the stick with the most

number is green.
Ma’am there are three green sticks.

Ma’am according to the song, the mode is

the one that you see the most, so I see
mostly green sticks so it is the mode.

Ma’am, I have noticed that there are more

numbers of the yellow blocks than the red
 and green blocks.

Ma’am I see yellow blocks mostly.

Ma’am the value I see the most is 13. 13 is

the mode.

Modes are 2 and 4, because they are

repeated the most equally.

So, how about these set of

data?(13,18,13,14,13,16,14,21,13).

If we have a given data of, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3,

3, 4, 4, 4, what is/are our mode(s)? Why?

None Ma’am.

Since there are no values seen the most,

there is no mode.
What if we have these data? (13, 18, 14,
16, 21). Do you see a number repeated?
Answer: None

Try this in a sheet of paper per group.

Answer in three minutes and explain.

1. Given the data

8,9,10,10,10,11,11,11,12,13

Find the mean, median and mode.

The mean is 10.5. I added all the values

and divided it from how many values are
given. That is 105 divided by 10 so the
answer is 10.5

The median is also 10.5 because there are

even numbers of values, there are 2
medians, 10 and 11. So I added them and
divide it by 2, which is 10+11=21÷2 =
10.5.

The modes are 10 and 11, because they are

repeated thrice.

2. Given the data set:

3, 12, 15, 3, 15, 8, 20, 19, 3, 15, 12, 19, 9

The mean is 11.8. I added all the values
and divided it from how many values are
given. That is 153 divided by 13 so the
answer is 11.8

The median is 15, I arranged the values in

 ascending order to get the middle term.

The mode is 3, because it is repeated three

times than the other values.

3. The following data represent the

number of pop-up advertisements
received by 10 families during the
past month. Find the mean, median
and mode.

43, 37, 35, 30, 41, 23, 33, 31, 16, 21, 41
The mean is 31.9, sir I added all the values
which got the sum of 351 and divided 351
from t he number of values which is 11, so
I got the answer of 31.9.

The median is 33. I arranged it in

ascending order.

The mode is 41. Because 41 is repeated

twice.
1. The weekly salaries of six
employees at McDonalds are
$140, $220, $90, $180, $140,
$200. For these six salaries, find:
(a) the mean (b) the median (c) the
mode

The mean is 161.67. Added all values

which has the sum of 970 and divided it
with how many values are given which is
6, so I got the answer of 161.67.

The median is 160. Since there are 2

medians which are 140 and 180, sir I
added them and divided it by 2 which
resulted to 160.

The mode is 140, because it is repeated

twice.

2. In January of 2010, your family

moved to a tropical climate. For
the year that followed, you
recorded the number of rainy days
that occurred each month. Your
data contained 14, 14, 10, 12, 11,
13, 11, 11, 14, 10, 13, 8.

The mean is 11.75. I added all the values

that resulted to 141 and divided it by 12
which is the number of values and got
11.75 as the result.

Arrange it in ascending order and got 12 as

the median.

Student 3: Ma’am
the modes are 11 and 14 because they are
repeated 3 times.
 Mean is adding all the values divided by
the number of the given values.

Ma’am
Median is the middle value in the given
data arranged from lowest to highest.

Mode is the ones that we see the most or

repeated frequently.

Evaluations: (1/2 crosswise)
