MATHEMATICS

LESSON PLAN
I.

Objective
At the end of the lesson the students will be able to;
a. Understand what is mean, median and mode and how to use it,
b. Appreciate the use of measure central tendency in solving mean, median
and mode,
c. Solve the word problem involving mean, median and mode.

II.

Rationale

In this lesson the students will be perform to solve the given problem involving
mean, median and mode. The teacher will provide a worksheet for her/his
students that serve as their guide to follow in discussion. The teacher discusses
the lesson by giving some example to explain concretely. Teacher is the one to
facilitate and assess the students to understand the topic carefully.

provided by the teacher. The name of this activity is Think
Pair Share. In order for the students to understand the topic
carefully. This worksheet serve as the guide to follow and
understand the topic discussion by the students.
What is measure central tendency?
- Measures of central tendency are statistical measures which
describe the position of a distribution.

- The mean, median and mode are the most commonly

used measures central tendency

There are two examples in solving measure central tendency the

ungrouped data and grouped data.

Examples;
Ungrouped data

The teacher will now set an evaluation test for her/his

students to determine what they have learned in the topic.

After the proper discussion, the teacher will

set an
assignment to her/his students and that would be pass
tomorrow.
