A SEMI-DETAILED LESSON PLAN IN MATHEMATICS 8
MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY (UNGROUPED DATA)
I. Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, the students are expected to:
1. Define mean, median, and mode;
2. Compute the mean, median and mode of a given data set; and
3. Apply the concept of measures of central tendency in real-life
situations.

F. Motivation
Let the students guess the Jumbled Words
G. Presentation of the lesson
The teacher will use the jumbled words to define the lesson for today.
The lesson today is Measures of Central Tendency.
H. Discussion
1. Mean
- Is the “ average “ you’re used to, where you add up all the
numbers and then divide by the number of values in the set. Given the
formula
EXAMPLE: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 , 6 ,7 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19,
20, 21, 22, 22, 23, 24, 25
325/25=13
Example 2: 9, 12, 12, 19, 20, 23, 27, 30, 17, 16, 15, 19, 20,21
260/14=18.6
2. Median
- is the middle value of a sorted list of numbers. To find the
median, place the numbers in value order and find the “middle”.
Example:
A. ODD OBSERVATION
35, 12, 23, 14, 36, 74, 53, 68, 42
Solution : 12, 14, 23, 35, 36, 42, 53, 68, 72 then find the middle
value.
Another way to find the median when n is odd =
Median =
= 10/2
= 5th term or observation which is 36.
2. EVEN OBSERVATION
16, 17, 10, 13, 20, 18, 13, 14, 18, 19
Solution: Arrange the values from smallest to largest.
10, 13, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 18, 19, 20
16 & 17
= 16+17/2
= 16.5
Another way: Using formula Median =
3. Mode
- identifies the category or score that occurs the most frequently within the
distribution of data.
Example: 9, 12, 12, 12,19, 20, 23, 27, 30, 17, 16, 15, 19, 20,21, 17, 15, 16,
12, 16, 12
Solution:
9, 12, 12, 12, 12,12,15, 15, 16, 16, 16, 17, 17, 19, 19, 20, 20, 21, 23, 27, 30
MODE = 12 since it is the most frequent data in the distribution.
Example 2. The following are the scores of the Grade 8 students in their
Mathematics quiz:
31,21 ,32, 29,28,28,29,21,21,22,25,26,28
Solution:
21, 21, 21, 22, 25, 26, 28, 28, 28, 29, 29, 31, 32
MODE = 21, 28
Application:
The following are the grades of Grade 9-Makahiya in their Mathematics
Subject:
90 87 84 87
92 86 85 87
87 84 90 91
86 89 89 90
87 84 86 86
Given the table above, find the mean, median and mode of the data set.
Evaluation:
Answer the following.
1. It is the sum of all observations divided by the number of observations.
_____________.
2. It is the value of the middlemost observation. __________________
3. It is the observation with the highest frequency. ________________
4. If the heights of 10 people are 142 cm, 150 cm, 149 cm, 156 cm, 153
cm, 150 cm, 148 cm, 142 cm, 150 cm, 150 cm,
Find the mean, median and mode of the given heights.
IV. Assignment
The monthly salary (in $) of 10 employees in a factory are given
below:
5000, 7000, 5000, 7000, 8000, 7000, 7000, 8000, 7000, 5000
Find the mean, median and mode.
