Objective: Analyzing Data Code: Practical Research Grade Level: Grade 10

Subject: Mathematics

(1) Review:

 Review the concept of data collection and representation, including different types of
data and data sources.

(2) Motivation:

 Show students a real-life scenario where data analysis is necessary, such as analyzing
survey results or sales data.
 Discuss the importance of analyzing data to make informed decisions in various fields.

(3) Activity:

 Activity 1: Collecting Data


o Divide the class into groups and assign each group a topic to collect data on, such
as favorite hobbies, food preferences, or transportation choices.
o Instruct the groups to design a survey/questionnaire, collect data from their
classmates, and organize the data in a table or chart.
o Each group presents their findings, highlighting the different methods used for
data collection.
 Activity 2: Analyzing Data
o Provide students with a set of data, such as temperature records, population
statistics, or test scores.
o Instruct them to analyze the data by calculating measures of central tendency
(mean, median, mode) and measures of dispersion (range, variance, standard
deviation).
o Guide students in interpreting the results and drawing conclusions based on the
data analysis.
 Activity 3: Graphical Representation
o Give students a set of data and ask them to create different types of graphs to
represent the data effectively, such as bar graphs, line graphs, or pie charts.
o Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each type of graph and when to use
them.
o Have students present their graphs and explain the key insights derived from the
visual representations.

(4) Analysis:

 Guide students in analyzing the data collected in Activity 1, discussing patterns, trends,
and outliers.
 Encourage students to identify any limitations or biases in the data and propose ways to
address them.
(5) Abstraction:

 Discuss the importance of summarizing and condensing data to make it more


understandable and manageable.
 Introduce the concept of data abstraction, such as grouping data into categories or
summarizing data using statistical measures.

(6) Application:

 Provide students with a real-life problem related to the objective, such as analyzing sales
data to determine the most popular product or identifying factors affecting student
performance.
 In groups, students should apply their data analysis skills to solve the problem,
interpreting the results and providing recommendations based on their findings.

(7) Assessment:

1. What are the measures of central tendency?


o Answer: The measures of central tendency include mean, median, and mode.
2. What is the purpose of data abstraction?
o Answer: Data abstraction helps summarize and condense data to make it more
understandable and manageable.
3. When would you use a bar graph to represent data?
o Answer: A bar graph is used to compare different categories or groups of data.
4. What is the range of a data set?
o Answer: The range is the difference between the maximum and minimum values
in a data set.
5. How can outliers affect data analysis?
o Answer: Outliers can skew the results and affect the accuracy of data analysis.

(8) Assignment:

 Homework: Students are assigned to collect data on a topic of their choice and present it
in a visually appealing and informative way, using appropriate graphs and tables. They
should also provide a brief analysis of the data, including measures of central tendency
and any insights derived from the analysis.

Subject: English

(1) Review:

 Review the concept of research and its importance in academic writing.


 Discuss the different types of data that can be collected in research.

(2) Motivation:

 Show examples of research papers that effectively analyze data.


 Discuss the significance of analyzing data in research papers.

(3) Activity:

 Divide the students into groups of four.


 Provide each group with a set of research data.
 Instruct the groups to analyze the data and identify patterns, trends, and correlations.
 Each group should then create visual representations (charts, graphs, etc.) to present their
findings.
 After the presentations, facilitate a class discussion on the different methods used to
analyze the data.

(4) Analysis:

 Introduce various techniques for analyzing data in research papers, such as descriptive
statistics, inferential statistics, and thematic analysis.
 Provide examples of how these techniques are applied in different research studies.
 Discuss the importance of accurately interpreting and presenting data analysis results.

(5) Abstraction:

 Guide students in identifying the key findings from their data analysis.
 Teach them how to summarize and synthesize the results in a clear and concise manner.
 Discuss the significance of drawing conclusions based on the analyzed data.

(6) Application:

 Provide a real-life problem related to the objective, such as analyzing survey data on the
effects of social media on teenagers' mental health.
 Instruct the students to analyze the data and write a research paper based on their
findings.
 Encourage critical thinking and creativity in presenting their analysis and
recommendations.
(7) Assessment:

1. What is the purpose of analyzing data in a research paper?


o Answer: The purpose of analyzing data in a research paper is to identify patterns,
trends, and correlations, and draw meaningful conclusions based on the data
collected.
2. What are some techniques used to analyze data in research papers?
o Answer: Some techniques used to analyze data in research papers include
descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, and thematic analysis.
3. Why is it important to accurately interpret and present data analysis results?
o Answer: Accurate interpretation and presentation of data analysis results ensure
that the findings are reliable, credible, and can be understood by the intended
audience.
4. What is the role of abstraction in analyzing data in research papers?
o Answer: Abstraction involves summarizing and synthesizing the key findings
from data analysis, allowing researchers to draw meaningful conclusions and
make informed recommendations.
5. How can analyzing data in a research paper contribute to knowledge and understanding
in a specific field?
o Answer: Analyzing data in a research paper helps to generate new insights,
validate existing knowledge, and contribute to the overall understanding of a
specific field.

(8) Assignment:

 Assign students to find a research paper that analyzes data in a specific subject area of
their interest.
 Instruct them to critically evaluate the data analysis methods used, the presentation of
results, and the overall effectiveness of the research paper.
 Students should write a short reflection on their findings and present it in the next class.

Interactive Activities:

1. Data Analysis Gallery Walk:


o Create stations around the classroom with different sets of research data.
o Instruct students to analyze the data at each station and write down their
observations and interpretations.
o After a few minutes, have students rotate to the next station and repeat the
process.
o At the end, facilitate a class discussion where students share their findings and
insights from the different data sets.
2. Data Analysis Role Play:
o Divide the class into groups of three.
o Assign each group a specific research scenario.
o Instruct one student to act as the researcher, one as the data analyst, and one as the
research participant.
o The group should work together to analyze the data and present their findings,
with each student playing their designated role.
o After each presentation, facilitate a class discussion on the different approaches
and perspectives presented.
3. Data Analysis Case Study:
o Provide students with a case study that includes research data.
o Instruct them to analyze the data and write a short report summarizing their
findings and recommendations.
o Encourage students to think critically and apply their knowledge of data analysis
techniques to the case study.

Note: The lesson plan provided above is a sample and should be adjusted according to the
specific needs and requirements of the classroom and students.
