DAILY LESSON PLAN IN STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY

DATE OF IMPLEMENTATION: __________________________
I. LESSON OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to:
A. identify questions that could be answered using a statistical process; and
B. describe the activities involved in a statistical process.
II. SUBJECT MATTER
TOPIC: Lesson 1: Introducing Statistics
TIME FRAME: 1 Hour
REFERENCE: Statistics and Probability Teachers Guide, pp. 1-6
MATERIALS: Slideshow about the lesson

III. PROCEDURE
A. MOTIVATION
The teacher will group the students into (5) five. The students will play the game Wordscapes Uncrossed
where in jumbled letters will be arranged. The objective of the task is to gain the 25 Twinkling Stars to save
STARLA. The activity will reveal the lesson for the day.

The teacher will solicit ideas from the students about the question “What do you think will be our lesson
today?”

The teacher will introduce the lesson.

B. PRESENTATION OF LEARNING TARGET
The teacher will present the lesson objectives to the students reflected on the Lesson Objectives of this Lesson
Plan.

C. ACTIVITY
The teacher will post two (2) Sets of Questions. The first set questions could not be answered by statistical
process while the second set of questions requires statistical process.
The teacher will let the students analyze the set of questions by giving the following guide questions:

1. Look at the first set of questions. What is do they have common?

2. If you will answer these questions, what can you infer from the answers on each question?
3. Now, take a look at the second set of questions. How will you describe these questions?
4. If you will answer these questions, what can you infer from the answers on each question? Does it require
the process of inquiry to answer each question?

D. ANALYSIS
Which set of questions requires factual information?
How did you say so?
Which set of questions require more than one information and needs further thinking? Why?

E. MAIN LESSON
The teacher will introduce statistics as a tool in decision making.

 The teacher will let the students realize the significance of statistics by explaining the following statements:
Statistics enable us to:
• characterize persons, objects, situations, and phenomena;
• explain relationships among variables;
• formulate objective assessments and comparisons; and, more importantly
• make evidence-based decisions and predictions.

The teacher will ask questions on how to do the statistical process by using one of the questions on the second
set. The teacher will summarize it as follows:
Statistical Process in Solving a Problem
Planning or designing the collection of data to answer statistical questions in a way that maximizes
information content and minimizes bias;
• Collecting the data as required in the plan;
• Verifying the quality of the data after they were collected;
• Summarizing the information extracted from the data; and
• Examining the summary statistics so that insight and meaningful information can be produced to support
decision-making or solutions to the question or problem at hand.

F. APPLICATION
The teacher will let the students describe the activities on statistical process on the remaining questions in the
second set and it will by groups.
Group 1: How old are the people residing in our town?
Group 2: Does it rain more in our country than in Thailand?
Group 3: Do math teachers earn more than science teachers?
Group 4: How many books do my classmates usually bring to school?
Group 5: What is the proportion of Filipino children aged 0 to 5 years who are underweight or overweight for
their age?
After which will be the presentation of outputs by group.
