SEMI- DETAILED LESSON PLAN IN MATHEMATICS 10

UNION AND INTERSECTION OF EVENTS

Content Standards
The learner demonstrates understanding of key concepts of combinatorics and probability.
Performance Standards
The learner is able to use precise counting technique and probability in formulating
conclusions and making decisions.
Learning Competency
The learner illustrates events, union and intersection of events.

I. Objectives
After the lesson, students are expected to do the following with at least 75% correctness:
a) differentiate events, union and intersection;
b) illustrates events, union and intersection of events; and
c) solve problems involving union and intersection of events.

II. Subject Matter

Topic: Union and Intersection of Events
Reference: Learner’s Module 10 , Internet sources
Resources: Cartolina, visual aids, chalk, board

III. Procedures
A . Preparatory Activities
Prayer
Word of the Day
B. Review
Review on Solving Problems Involving Permutations and Combinations
C. Motivation
“Arrange Me”
Students are going to arrange the jumbled words. The teacher will flash each word and
they are going to answer it.

1. EMNEEPITRX
2. LASEPM PEACS
3. TEVEN
4. NNIUO
5. TIRNSCTEEOIN

D. Lesson Proper
(The teacher will then ask a question: Based on the game that we have, what is our topic
for today)
 Experiment- any circumstances whose outcome can’t be determined or uncertain. .
Sample space- it is the collection of possible outcomes in an experiment.
Event- a subset of a sample space. It is also a specific or collection of outcomes
2 types of event:
Simple Event- events which consists of a single outcome in the sample space.
Compound Event- events which consist of more than one outcome.

Example:
Experiment Sample Space (S) Events (E)
The event that a head will
Tossing a coin Head (H) occur.
E={H}
Simple event
Tail (T)

S={H,T}

The event even numbers

appears.
Rolling a die E={2,4,6}
Compound event

S={1,2,3,4,5,6}

Intersection of Events
The intersection of events A and B, written A ⋂ B, is the event containing the elements
that are in both A and B.
Example: Venn Diagram
A B
A={1, 3, 5, 7, 9}
1 3 2
B={2, 3, 5, 7, 11} 5
A ⋂ B= {3, 5, 7} 9 2 11

B={2, 4, 6, 8, 10} 1 5 2 4
A ⋂ B= { } 3 7 6 8
9 10
Disjoint
 Union of Events
The union of events A and B, written A U B, is the set of all the elements that are in A, or
in B, or in both A and B.
Example:
Venn Diagram
A= {1, 3, 5, 7} A B
B= {1, 2, 3, 4} 5 1 2
A U B= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7} 3 4

Another example:
Consider a die and a coin are tossed. Let A be the event that a tail comes out and B the
event that a 5 comes out. Illustrate A U B and A ⋂ B.

By Listing Method:
The sample space, S={H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6}
A={1T, 2T, 3T, 4T, 5T, 6T}
B={5T, 5H}
A U B ={1T, 2T, 3T, 4T, 5T, 5H, 6T}
A ⋂ B= {5T}

E. Generalization
 1. What is the difference between events, union and intersection?
2. What are the two types of events?

F. Application
Let’s try!

A={1, 3, 5, 7} C={2, 4, 6, 8}
B={2, 3, 5, 7} D={2, 3, 4, 5}

1. A ⋂ B=(Answer:{3, 5, 7})
2. A U B=(Answer:{1, 2, 3, 5, 7})
3. A ⋂ C=(Answer:{ })
4. C ⋂ D=(Answer:{2, 4})
5. A U B U D=(Answer:{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7})

G. Evaluation
Illustrate the following events by listing the sample space, S, and the union and
intersection of events.
1. A die is tossed. Let A be the event that an odd number turns up and let B be the
event that a number greater than 3 turns up. Illustrate A U B and A ⋂ B.
2. A 1-peso coin is tossed. A is the event that the coin falls head and B is the event
that the coin falls tail.

H. Assignment
Illustrate the following events using a Venn Diagram and shade the portion for each
question.

Let M= students who will take Math 10

S= students who will take Science 10
Consider the results of the survey taken from the students:
18 students will take Science 10
9 students will take Math 10
4 will take both Math and Science
6 will take neither of the two subjects

1. How many students will take Math only?

 2. How many students will take Science only?
3. How many students will take Math or Science?
4. How many students will take Math and Science?
