III. Procedure

Teacher’s Activity Learner’s Activity

 Preliminary Activities

Good morning, class!

Students: Good morning, Ms. Tausa!
Kindly pick up the pieces of paper
under your chair, throw it to the
garbage and go back to your proper (The students will pick up the pieces of paper
seats. and throw it to the garbage immediately and
will sit to their chairs properly.)
Yes, Ma’am.

Prayer

Okay Howard, kindly lead the prayer. (Howard will lead the prayer.)
Our father thou art in heaven
hallowed be thy name. Your kingdom
come your will be done on earth as it
in heaven… Amen.
 Energizer

Okay class, before you sit let us sing

Oh it’s Math time after all
Ready, sing
Oh it’s Math time after all (3x) (The students will sing)
Oh it’s Math time, after all…

Attendance

You may all take your seats.

Vevencio, is there any absent from Students: Thank you, Ma’am.
this class? Vevencio: No, Ma’am.

You are all present today, very good!

Let us give ourselves three claps for
being complete today.

1, 2, 3... (The students will clap).

Before we continue, let us remember

or recall our guidelines when we were
having our lessons inside the
classroom.
1. To be prepared (Vevencio Biabe will raise his hand.)
2. To be positive or to be happy
3. To be productive and be
participative
4. To be respectful to your classmates
and teacher

Do you understand?
Students: Yes, ma’am.
Excellent.

 Developmental Activities

Before proceeding to the next topic,

who can recall for our topic
yesterday? Anyone?

Yes, Claire.
Claire: Our topic yesterday is about the
graphical representations of frequency
 distribution.
Very good. Our topic yesterday is
about the graphical representations of
frequency distribution.

To be clear that you have learned well

from our lesson yesterday. I will be
asking questions and anyone can
raise their hands to answer.

What is a graph?

Yes, Angela. (Angela will raise her hand)

Angela: A graph is a tool used for conveying

That is correct. information very quickly.

Now, what forms can be used to

summarize data?

(Rhea will raise her hand)

Rhea: They are in a form of tabular,
numerical or graphical forms.

Excellent. What are the most common

graphical methods?

(The students will answer in chorus)

Line graph, time series, line charts,
histogram, frequency polygons, pie
charts, pictographs and logarithmic
Yes. Excellent. graphs.

 Motivation

Now, let us have an activity. Please

get your notebook and I want you to
write numbers 1-30.

Are you done writing?

Students: Yes, Ma’am.
 Presentation of the lesson

Okay, let us use that numbers for our

lesson for today. Our lesson for today
is all about measures of central
tendency.

 Discussion

Now, I want you to add the numbers

1-30?
(The students will add the numbers from 1-
Is everybody finished? 30)
Students: Yes, Ma’am.
What is the sum?
Yes, Jane.

That is correct. Jane: It is 465.

Now, I want you to divide 465 to 30

since 30 is the total number.
465/30 = 15.5
What is the quotient?
(Yrra will raise her hand)
Yrra: The quotient is 15.5.
From that answer, we can say that
15.5 is the mean of the ungrouped
data. Using that term, which is mean
and the number 15.5. What do you
think is the meaning of the mean of
the ungrouped data?
(Rica will raise her hand)
Rica: Mean is an average.

That’s correct. Are there any other

answers?
(Cherry will raise her hand)
Rica: The mean is the sum of all numbers
divided by the total numbers.
Excellent.
Now, using what we did earlier in our
activity. Our formula in finding the
mean of ungrouped data is this,

This is the symbol for mean

This represents all the numbers

added and n represents the total
number of data.
Do you understand?

Let us have an example.

Students: Yes, Ma’am.

What is the mean of the following

numbers? Use your calculator.

Who can tell me the mean?

(Ben will answer.)

That’s correct.
Ben: The mean is 18.09
Now, let us try again to look at these
set of scores.
What can you say about this?

(Nathan will answer.)

Nathan: The smallest number is 10 and the
Are there other answers? biggest is 34.

(Rose will answer.)

That is correct.
Rose: The numbers are not arranged
properly.
Now, using your small illustration
boards, I want you to write the
numbers properly from smallest to
biggest. (The students will arrange the numbers in
their illustration board)

Now, who can write the proper

arrangement of the numbers on the
board?

(Jhon Mark will volunteer)

Jhon’s answer will look like this

Are the numbers arranged properly?

Since the numbers are arranged Students: Yes, Ma’am.

properly. What do you think is the
middle number of the set?
(Jearim will answer.)
Jearim: The middle number is 16.
Are there other answer?

(Nathan will answer.)

Yes, Nathan that is correct. Nathan: I think the middle number is 18.
Remember class that in a set of data
there is always a middle number. And
we call it the median.
In finding the median we can use this
formula.

This is the symbol for the median and

n represents the total number of data
used. The answer from this formula
will not exactly tell the median.
However, it will only tell the location of
the median in our data.

Do you understand class?

Students: Yes, Ma’am.

Okay, let us use this formula and let
us solve for the median in our
examples using calculator.

How many numbers are used in our

example?

Students: 11, Ma’am

Okay, let us solve for the median
using the formula.

6 is not a median but the median in

our example is in the sixth location.
Now, what is the sixth number in our
location?

Yes, therefore the median in our data Students: 10, Ma’am

is 10.

Moving on, let us examine this

number.

What can you say about the

numbers?
(Trashel will answer.)
Trashel: The lowest value is 2 and the
highest value is 9.
What else? Are there other answer?
(Kim will answer)
Kim: The number five appeared twice in the
set.
Exactly. Now, we can say that the
number five is called the mode. The
mode is the third measure of central
tendency. Using this number five,
what do you think is the meaning of
the mode?
(Dani will answer)
Dani: The mode is the number that appears
 twice or more in the set of data.

That is correct. The mode is the most

frequently occurring score in a group
data. There is no formula in finding
the mode in the set of data. You just
have to look for the numbers that
appear twice or more in the set. Do
you understand?
Students: Yes, Ma’am.

Very good.

Let us have another example.

As you can see, the numbers are not

yet arranged properly. So, we have to
arrange the numbers in ascending
order.
Who can arrange the numbers in the
board? (Job will answer)

Remember that you have to arrange (while Job is answering, the teacher will
the numbers properly in ascending discuss)
order before identifying the mean,
median and the mode. Do you
understand?

Very good. Thank you, Job. You may

now sit.
(This is the answer of Job)
Okay, since the numbers are
arranged properly. What do you think
is the mode of the data?

Students: 11, Ma’am.

Very, good. We can say that 11 is
unimodal since there is only one
mode in the data. If there are two
modes or two numbers that occurred
twice or more, we can say that they
are bimodal and if there are three
modes or three numbers that
 occurred twice or more they are called
multimodal. Remember, we can also
say that there is no mode of the data
if there is no number that occurred
twice or more.
Is that clear?
Students: Yes, Ma’am
Very good.

 Application

Now, let us have a group activity. I will

group you into two. Before we
continue let us recall our guidelines in
doing group activity inside our
classroom.

What is the first step?

1. Read the directions carefully.

2. Cooperate with your classmates.
3. Work silently.

Exactly. Now, I will give each group

an activity card and a manila paper. I
want you to read the directions
carefully and I want you to write the
answer and the solution in the manila
paper. After that, you have to choose
a representative that will discuss your
answers here in front.
Is that clear?
Okay, you have five minutes to (The students are doing their activity)
answer this activity.

Is everybody finished?
If you are finished clap three times.
(The students will clap in three times)

You can now go back to your seats.

Let us now start to our reporting.

 (The group 1 will choose Vevencio as their
reporter)

Activity for group 1.

This is the presentation of Group 1.

(The students will clap five times)

Very good, let us give five claps to
group 1.

Let’s proceed to group 2. (The group 2 will choose Leni as their

reporter)
Activity for group 2.
This is the presentation of Group 2.

(The students will clap five times)

Very good, group 2. Let us give five
claps to the group 2 as well.

 Generalization

Based from what you have done

(Joshua will answer)
earlier, what did you do to finish the
activity on time?
 Joshua: We cooperated to each other.

Excellent. In order to get the job done

easily, we must cooperate and help
each other. Just like on how the front
liners helped each other to cure
people that have been affected by
COVID-19.

Now, let us recall the three measures

of central tendency. Rhea: The measures central tendency is the
mean, the median and the mode.
Yes, Rhea.

Claire: It is the average numbers in the set.

Very good. What is the mean of the
ungrouped data?
Angela: It is the middle number of the set.
How about the median?

Kim: It is the most frequently occurring

And what is the mode? number in the data.

Excellent. Now what should we do

first before identifying the mean, the
median and the mode?

Yes, we have to arrange the numbers

in ascending order.

 Evaluation

Get ½ sheet of paper and answer the

following. You have 1o minutes to
answer this activity.
 (The students are answering)

Is everybody finished?

Okay, exchange your paper and let us

check.

Answer key:

Okay, class. Kindly pass your papers

to the in front and gave it to me.

Thank you.

Now, get your Mathematics notebook

and copy the assignment.
 Students: Yes, Ma’am.
Is everybody finished writing?

Okay, then pack your things and let

us have our closing prayer.

 Closing Prayer

Our father thou art in heaven

hallowed be thy name. Your kingdom
come your will be done on earth as it
in heaven… Amen.
