Grade 9 Mathematics – Statistics
(IGCSE)
This lesson covers the key concepts of Statistics for Grade 9 (IGCSE Curriculum) and is
designed to fit a 60-minute class session.
1. What is Statistics?
Statistics is the study of data: how to collect, analyze, interpret, and present it.
2. Types of Data Representation
Common types include:
   - Bar Charts
   - Pie Charts
   - Line Graphs
   - Histograms
   - Stem-and-leaf diagrams
3. Measures of Central Tendency
These help us understand the center or average of a data set:
   - Mean: The sum of all values divided by the number of values.
   - Median: The middle value when the data is arranged in order.
   - Mode: The value that appears most frequently.
4. Range
Range = Highest value - Lowest value
5. Worked Example
Given the data set: 5, 8, 6, 9, 7
• Mean = (5 + 8 + 6 + 9 + 7) ÷ 5 = 35 ÷ 5 = 7
• Median = 7 (after ordering: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
• Mode = None (all values appear once)
• Range = 9 - 5 = 4
6. Class Activity
1. Find the mean, median, mode, and range for: 12, 15, 11, 15, 14
2. Draw a bar chart for the following data:
Apples: 10, Bananas: 15, Oranges: 5, Grapes: 12
