SEMI-DETAILED LESSON PLAN

Date: February 22, 2022

I. Objectives
At the end of the 60-minute session, the students will be able to:
a) organize data in a frequency distribution table;
b) appreciate the importance of frequency distribution; and
c) identify the different columns in a frequency distribution.

II. Subject Matter

Learning Competency: Construct a frequency distribution table
Topic: Organizing Data in a Frequency Distribution
Materials: Laptop, PowerPoint Presentation, & Calculator
Reference: Luntian C. M., Mathematics – Grade 7 Quarter 4 - Module 3:
Organizing Data in a Frequency Distribution, Page 04-07.
Value (s): Appreciative

III. Procedure
A. Preparatory Activities
1. Classroom Routine
● Prayer
● Greetings
● Attendance

2. Motivation.
The teacher will ask several questions to test if the students still remember
what they have learned in the past quarter.
“Stock Knowledge Test”
1. It is the most frequently occurring value in a set of data.
2. It is the middle value of the ordered data wherein the data must
be put in numerical order first.
3. Is the sum of a collection of numbers divided by the count of
numbers in the collection.

B. Lesson Proper
1. Activity
Directions: Set up a frequency table for the scores given and
answer the guide questions that follow. The students will be given 2
minutes to answer.

Situation:
The following are the scores obtained by 15 students in a short test:
32, 30, 29, 29, 28, 28, 28, 27, 27, 27, 27, 26, 26, 25, 24

2. Analysis.
1. What does 𝑛 in the frequency column represent?
2. What score has the highest frequency?

3. Abstraction
The teacher will discuss the following concepts.

What is a frequency distribution?

A frequency distribution is an arrangement of data that shows the
frequency or occurrence of the different values in an experiment or study.

Why construct a frequency distribution?

Constructing frequency distribution is advised for easier and faster
analysis and interpretation of the gathered data when the number of
observations (n) is 30 or more.

How to construct a frequency distribution?

Steps in constructing a frequency distribution table
Step 1. Determine the range (𝑟). Formula: 𝑟 = 𝐻𝑆 – 𝐿𝑆.
Step 2. Solve for the number of classes or class intervals (𝑘) using
the formula 𝑘 = √𝑛, where 𝑛 is the number of observations.
Step 3. Determine the class size (𝑐) by dividing 𝑟 by 𝑘.
Step 4. Determine and enumerate the classes, and count the
number of observations falling in each class interval for the
frequency (𝑓).

Example 1.
Below are the scores obtained by thirty-six (36) Grade 7-
Students in a Mathematics Test
 Step 1. Determine the range (𝑟). Formula: 𝑟 = 𝐻𝑆–𝐿𝑆.
HS=52∧LS=8
r =52−8=44

Step 2. Solve for the number of classes or class intervals (𝑘) using
the formula 𝑘 = √𝑛, where 𝑛 is the number of observations.
k =√ 36=6
Step 3. Determine the class size (𝑐) by dividing 𝑟 by 𝑘.
r 44
c= = =7.3∨8
k 6

Step 4. Determine and enumerate the classes and count the

number of observations falling in each class interval for the
frequency (𝑓).

IV. Evaluation
Directions: Tabulate the following ages of thirty-five (35) elders housed in an
Orphanage Facility in Zamboanga City into a frequency distribution using a class size of
5. Let the first interval begin with 60. Pass your answer through google classroom and
the deadline of submission will be February 22, 2022, 5:00 in the afternoon.
