A Semi-Detailed Lesson Plan in Statistics and Probability

I. OBJECTIVES

At the end of the 60-minute discussion, the students are expected to:

A. Find the probability of simple and compound events;

B. Solve problems involving probability of simple and compound events; and
C. Cite ways how finding probability is used in real-life situations

II. SUBJECT MATTER

Topic: Probability of Simple and Compound Events

References: Mathematics – Grade 8 Learner’s Module First Edition, 2013
E-Math 10 by Orlando A. Oronce and Marilyn O. Mendoza
Materials: PowerPoint Presentation, chalkboard, coins, two fair six-sided dice.
Valuing: possessing patience and perseverance and being prayerful

III. PROCEDURE

A. Daily Routine
1. Prayer
2. Greetings
3. Classroom Management
4. Checking of Attendance

B. Review
a. Have a learner rearrange a set of letters to identify a term related to probability. Then, let him
define the term identified and give examples if necessary.
C. Motivation / Developmental Activity
Conduct the activity entitled “Math-huhula.” The following steps are carried out:
a. Have three learners choose a number (a positive integer) from 1 to 30.
b. Ask these learners whether their secret number appears in each of the
five cards to be shown.

c. The teacher guesses the number

D. Establishing Purpose of the Lesson

(Ask the students to read today’s objectives.)

E. Presentation of the Lesson

a. Pose this question to the class: “If a pregnant woman will give birth to a child, what is the
probability that the child is a male?” Ask the learners about the chance or the probability that
the event will occur.

b. Have the learners identify what events these are:

 Find the probability of getting a non-prime and a non-composite number when rolling a
die. (Simple Event)
 Find the probability of getting an odd number when rolling a die. (Compound Event)

c. From the tasks given where events are identified and finding the probability of these events, the
learners will be able to tell the lesson for the day:
Probability of Simple and Compound Events
F. Discussion
a. Guide the learners in finding the probability of simple and compound events:

b. Provide these five problems involving finding the probability of simple and compound events.

G. Application
Conduct a group activity using the game-based platform Kahoot!.
a. Divide the class into 5 groups.
b. Have the learners of each group name their group using the following colors: blue, red, yellow,
green, and orange.
c. Using papers, have the groups compete for getting the highest score through answering with
accuracy and speed the 10 questions posted on the board.
 Ask the following questions:
1. How is probability used in real-life situations?
2. In this life, what do we need to increase the probability of achieving success in
every endeavor?

H. Generalization
Have the learners tell how to find the probability of simple and compound events.

IV. Evaluation
Have the learners answer the following questions on finding the probability of simple and
compound events.
V. Assignment

In your notebook, write a brief reflective essay, express how much you understood the concepts
about simple and compound events. Specify which ideas sank into your mind or came to your
understanding excellently, moderately, slightly, poorly, or emptily.
