Problem-Solving Strategies

• Guess and Check

• Make a Table and Look for a Pattern
• Solving a Similar but Simpler Problem
• Use of Logical Reasoning
• Working Backwards
• Use Listing Method
• Write and Solve Equations

 RANDOM FACT!
• The teacher will ask a random question.
• A student will be called to choose a number from 1-10.
• The number will be used by the teacher to select one student who will
answer the question.
• If the student got the correct answer, he/she earns a point. If not, the
student will be given a chance to “Call-a-friend”.
• If the “friend” got the correct answer, both students will earn a point.

 RANDOM FACT!
What is the average number of teeth
in an adult?
Answer: 32 teeth According to Medical News Today, “adults
typically have 32 teeth, four of which are wisdom
teeth. A person will usually have an equal
amount in the upper and lower rows of teeth.”

 RANDOM FACT!
In 2022, half of the global population is
above what age?
According to Our World in Data “The global median age
Answer: 30 years old has increased from just over 20 years in 1970 to just over
30 years in 2022. The global population breakdown by
age shows that around a quarter are younger than 14
years, around 10% are older than 65, while half of the
world population is in the working age bracket between
25 and 65.”

Measures of Central
Tendency
(Ungrouped Data)
Mathematics in the Modern World
 Objectives
At the end of this lesson, students will be able to:
1. define measures of central tendency through Think-Tac-Toe
activity;
2. solve problems involving measures of central tendency of
ungrouped data through a “3-Corner” game; and
3. develop a sense of appreciation by sharing one’s views on the
vital role of measures of central tendency in the modern world.

MATHEMATICS IN THE MODERN WORLD 8/17/2023

 Think-Tac-Toe
Mechanics:

1. The class will be divided into 2 groups.

2. Group 1 will be the “X” group and group 2 will be the “O” group.
3. A representative of each group will toss a coin to determine the group who will
make the first move.
4. The group should correctly give the meaning of their chosen word for them to
have the chance to mark the square of their choice.
5. The first group who places three of the same marks horizontally, vertically, or
diagonally, wins.

 Measures of Central Tendency

A measure of central tendency is a typical or

central value that attempts to describe a set of
data by identifying the central position
within that set of data.

MATHEMATICS IN THE MODERN WORLD 8/17/2023

 Measures of Central Tendency
(Ungrouped Data)

Mean Example: Marga is a financial advisor. She lists down the age of her
clients. Find the average age of Marga’s clients.

 average 64 51 66 30 47
 sample mean:

x (value from the data
38 29 47 68 40
set) 480
n (total values in a data ¿
10
set)
Thus, the average age of Marga’s clients is 48
years old.

 Measures of Central Tendency
(Ungrouped Data)

Example: Marga is a financial advisor. She lists down the age of her
Median clients. Fifty percent of the clients are above what age?

 middle value when 64 51 66 30 47

arranged in order
 sample median: 38 29 47 68 40
Steps:
1. Arrange in order Arrange in increasing order:
2. Get the middle value. 29 30 38 40 47 ~
𝒙 =𝟒𝟕
3. If the number of values is 47 51 64 66 68
even, get the average of the
two middle values. Thus, 50% of the clients are above 47 years old.

 Measures of Central Tendency
(Ungrouped Data)

Example: Marga is a financial advisor. She lists down the age of her
Mode clients. What is the common age of Marga’s clients?

 Most frequent or common 64 51 66 30 47

value
 sample mode: 38 29 47 68 40
Types of Mode:
• None (No mode)
• 1 mode (unimodal)
• 2 modes (bimodal)
Unimodal
• 3 modes (trimodal) Thus, the common age of Marga’s clients is 47
• 4 or more (multimodal) years old.

 3-Corner Game!
• The class will be divided into 3 groups.
• Each group will have an assigned corner.
• They need to answer the word problem written on a paper which is
placed in each corner.
• After 3 minutes, they need to rotate clockwise going to another corner.
• Repeat the same process until all problems will be solved by each
group.
• Each group will present one word problem.

 Corner 1
Problem: Suppose you want to get a final average grade of 94 in your math class. Knowing that you
scored 90, 92, 96, 94, and 95 in the first five quizzes, what is the minimum score you should get for the
6th quiz?

90 92 96 94 95 ?
(mean); n = 6
Let x be the minimum score for the 6th quiz

Therefore, you should get a

minimum score of 97 in the 6th
quiz.

 Synthesis
• Mean – the average value of the data set.
• Median – the middle value of the data set.
• Mode – the most frequent or common value of the
data set. There could be more than one mode.
