CALA TYPE : Practical Activity plus Pen and Paper

SYLLABUS TOPIC : Statistics

SYLLABUS SUBTOPIC : Measures of Central tendency

CALA TITLE : Calculating the mean, mode and median from given data

DURATION : One week

COMPETENCE SKILLS :

 Data collection
 Data classification
 Data presentation
 Measures of central tendency

DIMENSIONS:

 Collecting data
 Classifying data
 Presenting data
 Applying measures of central tendency
 Communicating mathematical information related to everyday life

CALA BACKGROUND

It has been observed that many people consider mathematics concepts to be abstract and fail to

see their applicability in everyday life situations particularly measures of central tendency,

hence the need to carry out the practical so that learners appreciate the importance of

mathematics in everyday life situations. You are therefore required to calculate the mean, mode

and median from given data

CALA DESCRIPTION

You are required to:

1. Collect data on shoe sizes of 30 learners of your own choice

2. Show raw data as collected
3. Present data on a frequency table
4. Present data on a pie chart
5. Calculate the mean of your data
6. Calculate the median of your data
7. Calculate the mode of your data

HOW YOU WILL BE ASSESSED

The facilitator will assess:

 Evidence of data collected

 Construction of a frequency table
 Correctly calculated angles on pie chart
 Correctly measured angles on pie chart
 Neatly drawn pie chart
 Correct calculation of measures of central tendency

CALA TIPS:

Consider formulae for measures of central tendency

Consider formulae for calculating angles

Consider measuring tools for angles

Consider tally table for raw data
