A LESSON PLAN IN Measures of Position (Quartile)
Peter John L. Crodua
Craig N. Refugio, PhD
I. LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the end of the one-hour period (60-minute period), the student should be
able to:
(KNOWLEDGE): 1. determine the quartiles of an ungrouped data
(SKILLS): 2. solve quartile value of an ungrouped data
(ATTITUDE): 3. appreciate the concept of measures of position in real life
situation
II. SUBJECT MATTER
A. Topic: Measures of Position (Quartile)
B. Learning Competency: Illustrates the following measures of position: quartiles, deciles and
percentiles. M10SP-IVa-1
C. References: Mathematics Learner’s Module, pp. 364-370
D. Materials: visual aids, activity sheets, board and chalk/chalkboard, projector
III. PROCEDURE
TEACHER’S ACTIVITIES STUDENT’S ACTIVITIES
A. Preparation
a) Prayer
“In the name of the Father . . . Amen”
Please all stand for the prayer.
Good morning class! Good morning teachers.
b) Checking of Attendance
Go back to your proper seat, I will check
your attendance.
We will recall again our classroom rules. Classroom rules.
1. No using of cellphones
2. Listen when someone is talking in front
3. Respect each other
4. Raise your hand you want to answer or
you have something so say.
B. Presentation
A. Awareness
1
Who can recall about the lesson we discussed
last meeting? It was all about measures of central tendency.
Then what are the measures of central
tendency? The measures are the mean, median and the mode
of ungrouped data.
The mean is? The average of the data set.
How about the median? The middle term of the data.
What is the mode? The most frequent occurring value in the data.
B. Activity
I will group you into 4 groups. Count off 1-
4. Group 1 occupy the 1st and 2nd row, group 2
stay in the 3rd and 4th row, group 3 1st row and
2nd row in this side and group 4 occupy the 3rd
row and 4th row in this side.
I want you to play this game. This game is
what we call “4 pics 1 word”. The mechanics
are easy, just use the scrambled letters to have
the right answer. The group who will get the
correct answer will be given 1 point. The
group that has the higher points will get a Yes sir
price. Are you ready?

Okay, what words did you encounter from the
activity?
The words are Measure, Position, Divide, Equal,
So, we have the measure and position, divide Lower, Quarter.
and equal, and lower and quarter.
What do you feel with that activity? Exciting sir.
Do these words connected to each other? Some of the words are connected to each other like
Divide and equal.
Okay those words are connected to each other
because it is part of our lesson this morning.
C. Analysis
So, for this morning is all about Measures of
Positions on Quartiles.
At the end of this lesson, you are expected to:
1.
Determine the quartiles Q1, Q2, and Q3
of an ungrouped data.
2.
Solve quartile value of an
ungrouped data; and lastly
3.
Appreciate the concept of measures of
position in real life situation.
Let’s first define these terms first.
What is measure?
Okay, measure is a standard unit used to
express the size, amount, or degree of Measure for me is all about an amount or
something. degree of something.
Okay. How about position?
A position class it is all about arranging a

where you belong. It gives us direction.
For instance, what is your position among the
siblings in your family?
4th sir.
Now let’s talk about quartile.
What is quartile? Who has an idea?
No idea sir.
From the word “quart” we have 4, division by
4. Like in our quarterly examination, it is
divided into 4 quarters, 1st quarter, 2nd quarter.
Now let’s discuss about the quartile. Please 3rd quarter and 4th quarter
read the definition for quartile.
Quartile – the score points which divide a
distribution into four equal parts.

Lower Quartile Middle Quartile Upper Quartile
We have 3 quartiles, the lower quartile Q1,
middle quartile or median Q2, and the upper
quartile Q3.
The difference between Q3 and Q1 the
interquartile range.
25% of the data has value ≤ Q1. 50% of
the data has a value ≤ Q2 75% of the
data has a value of ≤ Q3.
We have the formula for getting quartiles.

seatwork are: 7, 4, 3, 6, 7, 4, 8. Find Q1, Q2,
and Q3.
1st step is arranging the data into ascending
order: 3, 4, 4, 6, 7, 7, 8
2nd step is to find Q1. Use the formula
So, we have the 2nd position as the lower quartile. Q1
is 4.

3rd step is to find Q2. Use the formula
And the 4th position is the middle quartile. Q2 is
6.
4th step is to find Q3. Use the formula
And lastly, the upper quartile is the 6th

2nd step:
The value of Q1 is 9.

Is the answer correct? Yes or No?
No sir.
Where is the error for the solution?
In getting the value of the middle quartile. He did
No, the solution is correct. Why? not round off the number.

Remember that we round off the lower quartile
if the answer is decimal and round down the
values of upper quartile if the answer is also
decimal.
The answer is correct! Any questions? None sir.

It is really important for us to know or to study
the measure of position for to be guided at all
time. For us not to be ignorance.
Does measures of position really exist in real
life? Yes sir.
Okay! How can we apply it or where can you

I will give another scenario for measures of
positions.
When your 9 classmates will fall in line, we
arrange them in ascending order, from shortest
to tallest.
Q2 sir?
What is the position of the 5th person?
Yes sir.
Are you sure?
Q1 sir.
How about the 3rd person from the shortest to
tallest?
Yes sir!
Is that correct?
Very good!

Not really sir.
Very good. So, did you understand the concept
of quartile?
Okay, I will ask questions again to make you
recall your lesson.
We have 3 positions, Lower quartile, middle
What the positions of the quartile? quartile and, upper quartile.
It is the median?
In other words, what do you call the middle
quartile?
Median sir.
Is that a question or an answer?
Very good.
E. Application
Using the same group, I want you to choose
one representative each group to pick one
envelop from me. Each envelop has a task to
do.
Inside these envelopes there are problems for
you to solve, and also it has a way on how you
present your work in front. Like dancing,
singing and others.
No sir
Understood?
Okay, in other words you present your work in
a creative way given in the envelop. Okay sir
You have 2-3 mins. to present your work,
and will be graded according to this criteria
Content 20%
Creativity 10%
Presentation 15%
Cooperation 5%

Let’s give this group an Indian Clap
Let’s give a clap for everyone for a job well
done. We feel excited because we didn’t know what to
do but we make it.
What did you feel in the activity?
We learn that we can also have various
presentation of our solutions in math.
What do you learn with the activity?
That’s right! In math, we can have
presentations not just solving and answering
