A. Preparation
Let us pray!
Leah, kindly lead the prayer!
Amen.
Good morning class! Good morning teacher!
Before you take your seat, kindly pick-up the
pieces of paper under your chairs and arrange
(Student do as told)
your chairs properly!
Who’s absent today? None teacher!
Very good!
a .Review
Okay class, before we are going to take a new
lesson. Let’s have some recap. What was our
previous topic? Kindly raise your right hand.
Yes Ivy? Our previous topic is all about fraction.
Very good!
Who can give the meaning of fraction?
Yes Kath? Fraction is a part of a whole, it is a number
that is not a whole number.
Excellent!
Anyone can give an examples of a fraction?
Yes Rey! Examples of a fractions are 1/2, 3/4,6/8 and
1/3.
Thank you Rey!
I guess you already know fraction, we can now
proceed to our new topic.
b. Motivation
I have here set of shirts, pants and shorts

( students will answer)

1. How many shirts are there?_____ 1. There are two shirts.
2. How many shorts pants are there?___ 2. There are two short pants.
3. How many long pants are there?_____ 3. There are two long pants.
4. How many different outfits you can choose? 4. There are eight different outfits.

c . Statement of the aim

To know how many possible different outfits you
can choose, this morning we are going to discuss
about basic concept of probability. I want you to
listen carefully, for afterwards you will be
formulating and performing the task I will be Yes teacher!
giving.
B. Presentation of the Lesson
From the activity we have done earlier,who can
give me an idea what is probability.
Yes Andyboyed Probability measuring the possible events
will happen to a certain situation.
Excellent idea!
Probabilty

*The branch of mathematics that deals with

uncertainty.

*a measure or estimation of how likely it is that

an event will occur.

Probability of Events

The probability of an event, P (event), is number

from 0 to 1 which tells how likely the event is to
happen.

Probability Rules

1. The probability of any event is a number (Students give an examples)

(either a fraction,a decimal or a percent) from 0
to 1.
2. If an event will never happen, then its
probability is 0.

Example: When a single die is rolled, the

probability of getting an 8?

Since the sample space consists of 1,2,3,4,5, and

6, it is impossible to get an 8.
3. If an event is sure to happen, then the
probability is 1.

Example: When a single die is rolled, the

probability of getting a number less than 7?

Since all the outcomes {1,2,3,4,5,6} are less than

7.
4. The sum of the probabilities of all the
outcomes in the sample space is 1.

C. Comparison and Abstraction

What is probability?
Yes, Alfie? Probability is a measure or
estimation of how likely it is that an event
will occur.
Very good!
D. Generalization
How to get the probability of events? What will
be the formula?

E. Application
This time, let’s have an activity, I will group you
into 4. Each group will find P(event) of the
following problems using standard deck of cards.

After answering, the representative of each group

Yes, teacher!
will present their output in front of the class. Do
it in three minutes. Am I understood class?
1. What is the probability of getting a HEART 1. P = 13/52
from a deck of cards?
2. What is the probability of getting a black cards 2. P= 26/52
from a deck of cards?
3. What is the probability of getting a 7,8,and 9 3. P=12/52
from a deck of cards/
4. What is the probability of getting a KING OF 4. P=1/52
HEART from a deck of cards?
F. Valuing
As what you observe during our discussion about
probability, probability is all about chances from
0%- 100%. In life we must not afraid to explore
things because we all have the chances to be
successful in our life. Big things comes from the
little things. Take all the chances to explore!
G. Evaluation
Directions:Look carefully at the given set, then
answer the following.write it in a 1/2 sheet of
paper.

Given : Set K = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12}

The probability of having:

1. a 10 1. 1/12
2. a 13 2.0
3. Odd numbers 3.6/12
4. Even numbers 4.6/12
5. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 5.1
H. Assignment
Directions: Find the probability of the following
events. Write it in a one whole sheet of paper.
1. There are 7 days in a week 1. P=1
2. Out of 20 items, Andei got 15 2. P=15/20
3. In the Philippines,it will snow in March 3. P=0
4. If you flip a coin, it will come down heads 4. P=1/2
5. It will be daylight in Manila 5. P=1
6. All months of the year have 28 days 6. P=0
7. The day before Monday is Sunday 7. P=1
8. Of the 40 seedlings, only 10 survived 8. P= 1/4
9. Next year, the month after November has 30 9. P=1
days.
10. The third person to knock on the door will be 10. P=1
a male.
