Lesson Plan: Mean, Median, and Mode

I. OBJECTIVES

At the end of the lesson, students should be able to:

1. Define mean, median, and mode.

2. Calculate the mean, median, and mode of a given set of numbers.

3. Differentiate between mean, median, and mode and identify their uses in real-life situations.

II. SUBJECT MATTER

Topic: Measures of Central Tendency – Mean, Median, and Mode

Mathematics Concept:

 Mean (Average): Sum of all values divided by the number of values.

 Median: Middle value when data is arranged in order.

 Mode: Most frequently occurring value in a dataset.

Materials:

 Whiteboard and marker

 Printed handouts or visual aids

 Number cards (for group activity)

 Calculator (optional)

References:

 Mathematics textbook

 Online resources on statistics

III. PROCEDURE

A. Motivation (Engagement)

1. Ask students:

o "If I asked you to find the ‘typical’ score of a class in a test, how would you do it?"

o "Have you heard of the terms mean, median, and mode before?"

2. Quick Poll:
o Have students guess the most common age in their classroom and compare it later with
actual data.

B. Lesson Proper (Exploration & Explanation)

1. Definition and Formula

Measure Definition Formula

Mean The sum of all values divided by the


Mean = (Σx) / n
(Average) number of values.

- If n is odd, Median = middle number.


The middle value when arranged in
Median - If n is even, Median = (middle two numbers) ÷
ascending order.
2.

- A dataset may have one mode, more than one


Mode The most frequently occurring number.
mode, or no mode.

2. Step-by-Step Calculation

Example Dataset: 5, 8, 3, 8, 9, 6, 8, 10, 12

 Mean: (5 + 8 + 3 + 8 + 9 + 6 + 8 + 10 + 12) ÷ 9 = 7.66

 Median: Ordered dataset → 3, 5, 6, 8, 8, 8, 9, 10, 12 → Middle value = 8

 Mode: The number that appears most frequently = 8

C. Activity (Elaboration & Application)

1. Group Work:

o Distribute different sets of numbers to groups.

o Have each group calculate the mean, median, and mode of their dataset.

2. Real-Life Application Discussion:

o How do businesses use mean (e.g., average sales)?

o Why is median used in income statistics?

o Where is mode useful (e.g., most common shoe size in a store)?

D. Generalization (Evaluation)

1. Ask students:
o "How do we find the mean, median, and mode?"

o "When is each measure most useful?"

2. Exit Ticket:

o Solve a small problem: Find the mean, median, and mode of 4, 7, 8, 10, 10, 12, 15.

IV. ASSESSMENT (Evaluation)

Assessment Type Description

Quiz Multiple-choice and problem-solving questions

Activity Participation Accuracy in group work

Homework Find the mean, median, and mode of daily temperatures for a week

V. ASSIGNMENT

 Research an example where the median is more useful than the mean (e.g., income statistics).

 Create your own dataset (10 numbers) and compute its mean, median, and mode.
