III. PROCEDURE
Teacher’s Activities Student’s Activities

A. Presentation

a. Motivation

I will be giving you an activity for

today. Let’s make this activity fun and
exciting. I will divide the class into 3
groups.

Starting at the back, please count from

1 to 3. The number will represent the
group where you belong to.

You may now proceed to your group

silently and form a small circle for each
group.
( The students do the task)
So, our activity for today is a game.

Who wants to play the game? All are raising their hands.

Let’s play a game and we call it “4 pics,

1 word).

Do you know how to play “ 4 pics, 1

word” , class? Yes, Sir!

But this game is now just the same with

the game you have in your phone. I
make it more challenging and
mathematical in some ways. It seems exciting Sir!

I have here in my hand the tasks that

each of the group need to accomplish.

For the group who will finish first the

task correctly, all members of the group
must yell the wor “ I LOVE MATH”.
Is that clear? Yes, Sir

I will challenge you class, this game is

limited only for 3 minutes. So may the
best group wins.

(The teacher gives the answer sheet for

each group)

Your 3 minutes start now.

( The students do the task.)
The time is up.

b. Analysis

Since Group __ got the words correctly

in a short time, take this reward.

I hope everyone enjoyed the game,

right? Yes, Sir

What did you observe in the color of

the cups?

challenge)
How about the number of cups?
The letter says,
Dear Class,
I have 3 challenges you need to be
accomplished. You will know me after you are
done with the 3 challenges so here is the first
challenge entitled “BOUNCE BALL GAME”.
My friend Byron will guide you. GOODLUCK

What are the total number of cups?

All: Me, Sir (raising their hands)

How about the color options? What did

you observe?

Why there is a black color option?

Do you see any black cup/s?

So, let’s see if what does the black

color option represents and how it is
related to the cups.

c. Discussion

So, the activity which I let you do is

related to our discussion for today
which is Probability of Simple Events.

Have you ever heard the word

probability?

Where do you mostly hear that word?

Where do we usually use probability?

That is right! They are checking the

probability of the weather if it will rain
or not.

Do you have any other examples?

Thank you for that good question, but

before that let’s define probability and
simple events.

Some terms people used probability as

“chance, likelihood, odds, percentage
and proportions” but the basic
definition of
(Student B plays the game.)
Probability- is the measure of how (The students play the game.)
likely an event is to occur. The more
likely an event is to occur, the higher
the probability. The less likely an event
to occur, the lower the probability.

Simple event- is an event which has a

single outcome/ sample point.

Enjoying!

Student C: I won the game Sir!

Student D: I lose the game Sir!

How would you interpret the chart?
Anyone?
The cups have different colors.
If an event will never happen, then its
probability is 0.
They have different numbers of cups.
In our activity earlier, the color black
option will not possible to get because
there’s no black color from the 16 cups.
There are 8 blue cups.
The color option is not in a sample
space.

There are 4 orange cups.

For example, it will rain snow
tomorrow.
There are 3 green cups.
Who can give me another example?

How about the even chance or 1/2? There is 1 yellow cup.

If an event will equally likely to

happen, then its probability is 1/2. There are 16 cups in all.

Who can cite another example?

There is a black color?
Yes! that’s right, you will either be
passed or failed.

In tossing a coin, it is an even chance or (Students answer may vary)

impossible to happen in getting a head
or tail?
None, Sir.
In our activity earlier there is an even
probability in getting the blue cup.

If an event is sure to happen, then its

probability is 1.

Example of this is tomorrow is Friday.

Any examples?

Since we had already knew the

definition of probability and the
probability line. Let’s try to read the 2nd
letter.

Yes, Sir.

From a radio or even in a television.

In a weather forecasting
The 2nd challenge entitled “PROVIDE
ME THE FORMULA”

Going back in our activity earlier, in

bouncing a ball, what is the probability
of getting one blue cup?

None Sir, but how do they compute for that

Are you sure? Let’s see later if you are probability?
right. How many blue cups are there?

Very good, it has only 8 cups or 8

favorable outcomes.

What are the total number of cups?

There are 16 possible outcomes

Therefore, there are 8 favorable

outcomes and 16 possible outcomes.
P(blue)=8/16=1/2=.5=50%

Based from the given example, how are

you going to compute for the
probability of simple events?

Again, the probability of getting blue

cup is 8, where 8 is the favorable
outcomes and 16 is the number of all
possible outcomes.

You’re right

The probability of simple event is the

ratio that compares the number of
favorable outcomes to the number of all
possible outcomes. The probability of
an event can be express either fraction,
decimal or a percent.

Example #2

Another example, from our activity

earlier, there are 8 blue, 4 red, 3 pink
and 1 yellow cups. Suppose you select
one cup at random. Find the probability
of yellow?

P (yellow)= 1/16=.06=6% (Students Answer may vary)

Example # 3:

There are 2 green and 5 black marbles.

If one marble is chosen at random then
what is the probability of getting not
black marble?
P (not black) =2/7=.29=29%

Example # 4:

What is the probability of getting one

red card in a deck of cards?

P (red) =26/52=1/2=.5=50%

That’s right! I will climb the Mt. Everest after the class.

It is when the event is equally likely to happen.

Do you have any questions or
clarifications?

d. Application
(group activity)

Now let’s apply your understanding

about probability of simple events.
I will pass the test.

Let’s have a group activity and please

read the 3rd challenge.

An even chance because it will equally likely to

get a head or a tail.

I will divide the class into 3 groups, I

have here a cup and inside the cup
consists of 3 colors. The color that
you’ve picked will indicate what group
will you belong to. I will name each
group as a violet group, a yellow group,
and a red group.
It is an event in which is sure to occur.

You may now proceed to your group

and form a circle.

Are you all now in your respective Christmas will be celebrated on 25th of
group? December.

I will give a situation in each group then None so far.

answer the following questions. Your
answers should be in a simplified form.

I will give you 5 minutes and after that

place your answer on the board.

You may now start. Do it silently.

questions)

choose an IPOD without looking at the
color. Inside the bag, there are 4 orange,
5 blue and 6 green IPODS.

random, what is the probability that
she will choose an orange IPOD?
2. If Maria chooses one IPOD at
random, what is the probability that
she will choose a green IPOD?

(students answer may vary)

3. If Maria chooses one IPOD at
random, what is the probability that
she will choose a not purple IPOD?

That’s right, He is the father of

probability.

Answer:

P(orange)=4/15=0.27=27%

P (green or blue) =6/15=2/5=.4=40%

P (not a purple) =1=100%

P (5) =1/6=0.17=17%
P (7) =0/6=0
P (even)= 3/6=1/2= .5=50%

P (a heart) =13/52=1/4=.25=25%

He is Girolamo Cardano.
Probability is the measure of how likely an
event is to occur.

A probability of any event is a number either a

fraction, a decimal and a percent.

If an event will not happen, then its probability

is 0

If an event sure to happen, then its probability is

1.

If an event is equally likely to happen, then its

probability is ½.

Answer:

Probability is the measure of how likely an

event is to occur.
P (E) = 4/12=1/3

P (8) = 4/52=1/13
