A Detailed Lesson Plan in Mathematics 8

I. Objectives: At the end of the lesson, the students are expected to:
a) Define mean, median and mode;
b) Solve for the mean, median and mode of Ungrouped Data; and
c) Relate the importance of "Measures of Central Tendency of Ungrouped Data"
in real life situation.

II. Subject Matter: “Measures of Central Tendency of Ungrouped Data”

Concepts:
Mean – the most commonly used of measures of central
tendency. It is used to describe a set of data where the measures
cluster or concentrate at a point. It is found by adding the values of the
data by the total number of values.
Median – is the midpoint of an array. The median will be
either a specific value or will fall between two values.
Mode – is the value that occurs most often in the data set.
It is the value with the greatest frequency. A data can have more than
one or none at all.

B.) Review
Class, yesterday we discussed about
Summation.
So, as you can see on the board, there
are sets of given data.

X1 = 85 X6 = 89

X2 = 80 X7 = 83

X3 = 88 X8 = 80

X4 = 84 X9 = 94

X5 = 87 X10 = 90

So, who would like to come to the board

and solve for the Summation of the given
data?

Solve:

D.) Presentation
- Based on our games, what do you think
is our topic for today? - One of the students will answer.

- Exactly! Today let us learn together the

“Measures of Central Tendency of
Ungrouped Data”.

- But before that let me present to you the

learning objectives. Everybody read!

Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the students are
expected to:
a) Define mean, median and mode;
b) Solve for the mean, median and
mode of Ungrouped Data; and
c) Relate the importance of
"Measures of Central Tendency of
Ungrouped Data" in real life
situation.
- When you hear the word or group
 of words “Measures of Central
Tendency of Ungrouped Data”,
what does it mean? Anyone?
- (Students share their thoughts
constructively)

E.) Lesson Proper Mean – the most commonly used of

- Class, there are three measures measures of central tendency. It is used to

total number of values.

Mean is given in the formula,

❑

X = ∑

Where:

∑
❑
x −¿ ¿the sum of all the values
of the given data
N – the number of values of X.

First example:
 The Math scores of 10
students are 85, 80, 88,
84, 87, 89, 83, 80, 94,
and 90.
So, from the formula given, let us
try to analyze and then
substitute the given to the
formula.

X=

Solution:

- Hence, the mean grade of =

Now, try to solve it in your

notebook, and I will be calling
somebody to solve it on the
board.
Median – is the midpoint of an
array. The median will be either a
specific value or will fall between
two values.

- Do you understand now - 80, 80, 83, 84, 85, 87, 88,

- Okay, let us proceed to the

second measure of central
tendency.

are 80, 85, 88, 84, 87, 89, 83,

- In which value does the

middle point falls? - 10, 10, 15, 20, 25

- Since, the middle point

falls between two values, - 15 !
to find the median, we
need to get the mean of
the two values.

This time, let us proceed to the
next measure of central
tendency.

Everybody read!

To find the mode of a set of data, - 206 and 301

we are to consider the following:

1) Select the measure that

appears the most often.
Example
The scores of 10 students in their
pre-test and post-test are 22, 23,
20, 23, 24, 25, 26, 23, 24, and
27.

Which score appears the most

often in the given set?

Therefore, 23 is the mode of the

given set. - Every value in the data.

Why is it 23 and not 24? Since 24

- Every value in the set of

times, then each of the value - Yes ma’am!
is a mode.
Example
The weights of eight boxing - None ma’am!
players are recorded as follows
(in pounds);
206, 215, 206, 305, 282, 301,
301, 266

What value appears the same

number of times in the given set
of data?

Therefore, the mode of the given

set of data is 206 and 301.

3) If every measure appears

the same number of times, - Yes ma’am .
then the set of data has no
mode.

Example

In the MTAP competition, the 10

participants have the scores of
21, 19, 20, 20, 23, 30, 23, 30, 21,
and 19.

G.) Analysis
- Explain how to find and solve the mean, - We need to study this
median, and mode. because it is very useful in
researches.

H.) Abstraction
How many Measures of Central
Tendency have we discussed?

What are these?

Who can define the Mean?

How do we obtain the mean of a given

set?

Now, who can tell to the class the

definition of Median?

How about the Mode?

Very good!

 What is the importance of Measures of
Central Tendency of Ungroup Data in our
daily life class, or why do we need to
study this?

Very good!
