Procedure
Learning Activities
Teachers Activity
A. Daily Routine
Please stand up and let us
pray.
Good morning class!
Before you take your seat,
kindly pick up the pieces of
paper under your chair.

Students Activity
(One student will lead the prayer.)
Good morning Sir!
(Student will pick up pieces of paper
under their chair.)

(Groups will be called to report if (Leader of each group will report if

theres any absent.)
theres any absent.)
B. Review and Motivation
Before we proceed to the
lesson proper here are the
things that you need to recall in
order for you to learn our lesson
for today.
Simplify the following:

Now you are equipped with the

prior knowledge you need to
learn, I will now show you a
video that could help you
understand the concept of our
topic for today
(The video will be shown to the
students)
C. Presentation

(Students will watch the video)

Yes Sir
the Four Spinners

Did you enjoy the video?

Who are the characters in the
video?

How do they decide about the

road that they will take?

They are a walking spinner so they

let their arrow spin and decide of
which path they will take. If the
arrow points at number 3 they will
take Road 3 but if it is 1 or 2 they
will take the other road

The first spinner has a bigger

space for number 3 so it has a
bigger chance of taking route 3. The
second one has a smaller space for
number 3 so the chance of taking
What was the difference among
the Route 3 is smaller. The third one
the four walking spinner and
doesnt have a number 3 in the

traveling Route 3. And the last one
has only one number to the spinner
which is 3 so it will surely travel to
route 3. In short each of them has
different chance in travelling route 3.
Their differences affect their choices
they make.

Very good. The path that they

will take depends upon the luck
and chances not by their will.
The word that I want to
emphasize is chance. How
can we compute for the chance
of an event to happen? So

today we are going to explore

the mathematics behind this.
Probability is a chance of an
event to happen.
Class, are you familiar with
color game?
Can someone please explain
the mechanics of the game?

Lets try it. But we are going to

add some twist. Group 1 will
going to bet in one color only,
Group 2 will have 2 colors,
Group 3 will have 3, Group 4 is
have 4, Group 5 will have 5 and
Group 6 you have 6 colors.

Yes Sir
You are going to place your bet in
the color that you think would win
then they will roll the dice if your
color is at the top you win but if the
other color is going to be on top it
means you lose

(they will pick a color and the dice

will roll)

Sir ,it is unfair because we do have

different level of chances of winning

what can you say about our

game
Now let us compute for
probability that your group will
win. The formula for getting
probability is

favorable outcome

total outcome

Who wants to read and explain

the meaning of favorable
outcome?

that was nice answer, How

about total outcome?

(Student will read the definition). Sir

it is the result that you wanted to
happen for example in our group
getting a yellow so the number is
1since there is only one yellow in
the dice.

(Student will read the definition)

from the word total it means all
possible events that might happen I
think it is 6 sir because there are all
six colors that might win in that dice

That is right. Now that you

have an idea what is favorable
outcome, total outcome and the
formula is already given. Can
now someone solve for
probability of your group to win
in color game?
How about on the other group
can you please solve for the
probability that you will win in
the color game

What if I also join in the game

and I pick color Gray. What was
the probability that I will win
Now observe your answers.
What was the highest
probability and lowest
probability
Very good. The first rule in the
probability is that the range of
probability is 0-1. Did you
understand?
What can you conclude about
Group 6s probability of
winning?
Very good, that was the second
rule in probability. How about
getting 0

1/6. The favorable outcome in the

formula is the numerator while the
total outcome is the denominator so
I simply write it in fraction form.
Group 2: 1/3
Group 3: 1/2
Group 4: 2/3
Group 5: 5/6
Group 6: 1
=0/6
=0
sir, because there is no color gray
in the dice so the no of favorable
outcome is 0
1 and 0

Yes sir

they got 1, getting a probability of 1

means the event will surely happen
getting 0 means the event is
impossible to happen
=1/6+1/6+1/6+1/6+1/6+1/6
=6/6
=1

That is right. That was the other

rule in probability. But what if I
added the probability of getting
each color (it means 6
probabilities). What do you think
is the result?
No sir
Very good. The last rule is that
the sum of the probabilities of
all the outcome in sample space
is 1

Is there any question?

we can now proceed to our
activity
D. Activity
(Group Activity)
If your group will be performing
a draw lots what is the
probability of picking:
a. the name of the leader;
b. a of a girl;
c. a student with the name that
starts with letter j.
E. Generalization
What is probability?
How can we compute for
probability?
What is the range of the
Probability?

(Each group will have different

answers depending on the number
and composition of their group.)

Probability is a chance of an event

to happen
we will use the formula
favorable outcome

total outcome
0-1
meaning the event will surely
happen
the event is impossible to happen

what does it mean of getting 1

in probability
How about getting 0?

IV.

Evaluation
Solve the probability of the problem.
A bag has 2 red marble, 5 green marble, and 3 blue marble. You will pick
1 marble. What is the probability of getting:
a. red marble;
b. blue marble;
c. blue and green marble;
d. not red marble;
e. orange marble?
