I. Objectives
At the end of the lesson 100% of the students shall be able to attain
85% level of proficiency to:

1. Identify mean, median and mode

2. Apply the concepts of mean, median and mode in real
life situation
3. Solve for the mean, median and mode
II. Subject Matter
A. Topic: Measures of Central Tendency
B. Concepts:
Mean- is the average value of all the data in the set.
Median- the value that has exactly half the data above it and
half below it.
Mode- is the value that occurs most frequently in the set.

1. Review
Before we start to our new lesson let us have first a
review regarding our previous lesson about Graphical
Representations of Frequency Distributions

What is graph? Graphs are useful for conveying information very

quickly

Thank you! The Summaries of data may be in the form of Tabular, graphical or numerical form
what?

Very Good! Will you enumerate the most common graphical Line graphs, time series, line charts, bar charts,
methods? histograms, frequency polygons, ogives, pie
charts, pictograms, and logarithmic graphs
Very good! It seems that you do understand our previous
lesson about Graphical Representations of Frequency
Distributions

2. Motivational Activity
Now class, I have here a set of different popsicle
sticks with different colors I will divide the class into 3
groups each group will going to separate the popsicle sticks
according to their color, and count the number of popsicle
stick with the same color you will write your answer on the
clean blank paper. Understand class? Yes ma’am

Okay. Let’s start now I will give you only three minutes.

3. Lesson Proper
In our activity a while ago. What have you done? We separate same kinds of popsicle sticks and we
count them.
Thank you! And that activity a while ago has a connection in
our topic for today which is Measures of Central Tendency

Now, class there are three most important measures in

Central Tendency so, before we continue I want you to give (The students will give a number that ranges from
me a number that ranges from 1-30 okay so, let’s start 1-30)

From this number that you gave to me class, I want you to

add those number and divide your answer by 30 since the
total number that I want you to give to me is 30, understand
Yes Ma’am
class?

What answer did you get class? 15.5

Very good! And the answer that you get class is called the Mean is the sum of all the scores divided by the
mean of ungrouped data. So, base from our activity what do number of scores
you think is the meaning of the mean of ungrouped data?

Very good! Mean is the average of the scores and it is called The formula for finding the mean is
the mathematical center of a distribution, What is the 𝑥 +𝑥 +⋯+𝑥𝑛
𝑥̅ = 1 2𝑛 or ∑𝑛𝑖=1 𝑥𝑖
formula for finding the mean of ungrouped data?

Very good! What do we call this sign 𝑥̅ class? x-bar Ma’am

Good! Let us have some example.

Ex. 1 The weighted arithmetic mean of the numbers 12, 15,

16, 12, 15, 18, 18, 20, 12, and 18.
12 occurs 3 times, 15 occurs twice, 18 occurs 3
How many times that the numbers occurs? times, 16 once and 20 once

The number of scores is 5

Very good! What is the number of scores?
(The students will go the board and solve the
Thank you! Who wants to solve the weighted mean on the given problem)
black board?
Yes Ma’am
Is his answer is correct?

Okay so let’s have an another example

Ex. 2 60 students were asked how many books they had read
over the past 12 months. The results are listed in the
frequency distribution below. Calculate the mean number of
books read by each student

Number of books Number of Students

(Frequency)
0 1
1 6
2 8
3 10
4 13
5 8
6 5
7 6
8 3

How we will determine the total number of books that were We will multiply the number of books to the
read by the students? students who read that particular number of books

Very good! What is the total number of books read? 60

Thank you! What is the mean now? The mean number of books read by each student
was 4 books
Very good! Let’s proceed now to the next important
measures of central tendency which is median. I have here a
set of scores
4, 8, 10, 9, 6, 5, 10, 15, 19, 24, 23, 14

What did you observe on the given number? The numbers are not arrange from highest to
lowest

We will arrange the number from ascending to

Thank you. So, what we will going to do with this numbers?
descending order
Very good! And what is the next thing that we will do after
Solve for the value of median
arranging the numbers from ascending to descending order?
x ̃= (N+1)/2
What is the formula for finding the median?
(The students will go to the board and solve the
Will someone go to the board and look for the median of set

of scores?
Yes Ma’am
Is the answer is right class?
The median is the arithmetic mean of the two
What is the definition of the median now?
middle values or called as the population of
central value

Very good! Let’s proceed now to the last important measures

of central tendency which is the Mode
The mode is the most important frequently
What is mode class? occurring score in the ungrouped data
Thank you! Is there a formula in finding the mode of Ma’am there is no formula in finding the mode of
ungrouped data class? ungrouped data

Good! Observed this set of scores class

2,5,5,6,8, 9
What is the most frequent scores that occurs in this sets of Number 5 Ma’am because it appears twice
numbers?

Thank you! And the number 5 is our mode since it appears It is called unimodal because there is only one
twice, and it is called as what kind of mode class? mode

How about on the second sets of numbers

12, 29, 35, 36, 45, 45, 50, 53, 55, 55, 62, 73, 80 I observed Ma’am that the 45 and 50 appears
What did you notice? twice

Thank you! So our mode is 45 and 50 since they appear It is called bimodal since the mode on the set of
twice, and this mode is called what? numbers are two

Very good!

4. Application
Now class, I will group you into 2 groups I will give Yes Ma’am
each group a small folder that contain different problem, you Answer
will answer the following question that being asked, after Group 1 Group 2
that the one representative of the group will go in front and 22. 5, 30, 45 12.5, 15, 17
discuss on how they solved the said problems. Understand
class?

5. Generalization

Mean is the average of the scores and it is called

That’s Right! How about the Median?
middle values or called as the population of
central value

The mode is the most important frequently

Very good. What is the Mode?
occurring score in the ungrouped data

IV. Evaluation
I. Define the ff:
1. Mean 2. Median 3. Mode
II. Find the mean, median and mode and interpret the results
1. Determine the mean of the following set of numbers:
40, 61, 95, 79, 9, 50, 80, 63, 109, 42
2. A student recorded her scores on weekly math quizzes that were marked out
of a possible ten points her scores as follows:
8, 5, 8, 5, 7, 6, 7, 7, 5, 7, 5, 5, 6, 6, 9, 8, 9, 7, 9, 9, 6, 8, 6, 6, 7
 What is the median and mode of her scores on the weekly math quizzes?
