 Motivation

• How many sides does a coin have?

• If you are to toss a coin, what is the chance

that your coin will land head?
 Vocabulary

 Activity
Have a spinner with 6 equal sections like the
illustration below :

Have each member of the team spin the wheel,

while a recorder writes the section where
pointer stops.
 Discussion

• How do you determine the probability ?

• How do we symbolize the probability ?

 Let’s try
A bag has 1 blue, 3 green, 2 red, and 2
yellow marbles. Find the probability of
drawing:
a. 1 blue marble
b. b. 3 green marbles
c. 2 red marbles
d. 2 yellow marbles
e. 2 black marbles
 Generalization

How do you tell the number of

favorable outcomes/chances?
 Let us Apply!
What is the probability of drawing at
random on the first draw?
a) a black bean from a bag containing 24
beans of which 18 are black?
b) a marked card from a box containing 12
cards of which 4 are marked?
c) a green marble from a hat containing 30
marbles of which 18 are green?
 Evaluation
