III. Procedure

A. Introductory Activity

1. Settling Down

a. Prepare the class by asking learners to arrange their chairs and to pick up any
piece of paper scattered on the floor; check room ventilation making sure
that is set to body’s normal temperature; and that the classroom is free
from any noise or other disturbances.

b. Check the attendance of learners.

2. 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.

Unarranged
Term Definition
Letters
Probability is the measure
1 ILITPYOBARB PROBABILITY of the likelihood of an event
to happen.
Experiment is anything
that is repeatedly do where
2 TMENEERXPI EXPERIMENT
results may vary even
conditions are similar

Examples: a. tossing a coin b. rolling a die

Sample Space is the set of
3 MALSEP ESCAP SAMPLE SPACE all possible outcomes in an
experiment.
Examples: a. b.
Event is any subset of a
4 NETEV EVENT
sample space.
Examples: a. getting a head when tossing a coin

b. getting an even number when rolling a die

Sample Point is an
5 SEALMP INPTO SAMPLE POINT
outcome of an experiment.
Examples: a. b.
Cardinality is the number
6 ALCDINYARIT CARDINALITY of outcomes in a sample
space or in an event
Examples: a. b.
Sure Event is an event
7 ERSU VETEN SURE EVENT
whose outcome must occur.
Examples: a. The event of getting a counting number less than 7 when
rolling a die
b. The event of selecting a month of the year with 28 days
Impossible Event is an
8 SIMOPBILSE EVTEN IMPOSSIBLE EVENT event whose outcome must
not occur.
Examples: a. The event of getting a 7 when rolling a die
b. The event of selecting a month of the year with 32 days.
Simple Event is an event
9 PSLEIM ETENV SIMPLE EVENT
with only one outcome.
Examples: a. The event of getting a non-prime and non-composite
number when rolling a die
b. The event of selecting a month of the year having the
letter “F”.
Compound Event is an
10 DUPOMCON VETEN COMPOUND EVENT event with more than one
outcome.
Examples: a. The event of getting at least one head when tossing three
coins simultaneously
b. The event of getting two numbers with a sum greater
than 5 when rolling two dice

3. Motivation

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.

Page 2
 LESSON PLAN IN MATHEMATICS 8 February 13, 2019

b. Ask these learners whether their secret number appears in each of the
five cards to be shown.

c. The teacher guesses the number.

B. Development of the Lesson

1. Presentation

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:

Page 3
 LESSON PLAN IN MATHEMATICS 8 February 13, 2019

 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.

2. 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.

 In a box, there are 4 green balls, 6 blue balls, and 8 red balls. Find the
probability of getting:
- a blue ball
- a ball that is not red
- a ball that is blue or red

 In a box, there are 20 balls numbered from 1 to 20. If a ball is drawn

from the box, find the probability of getting:
- an even number
- a prime number
- a number divisible by 3

 If a letter is to be selected from the word MILLENNIALS, find the

probability that the letter is:
- a vowel
- a consonant

 Presently, there are 38 learners in Grade 8-Fleming. 22 of them are

boys. If a learner is to be chosen from the class, find the probability that
the learner is a:
- boy
- girl

 A family has 3 children. Find the probability of having:

- 3 boys
- 2 girls and 1 boy

- the middle child is a boy

3. 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 Android or IOS phones, have the groups compete for getting the
highest score through answering with accuracy and speed the 10
questions posted online.

Question 1: Question 2:

Question 3: Question 4:

4. Value Integration

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?

C. Generalization

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

V. Assignment

Have the learners answer these problems involving compound events.

1. On a library shelf, there are three Geometry and five Algebra books. Books are
replaced after someone borrow it. If two books are taken, what is the
probability that the first book is Geometry and the second book is Algebra?

2. Two sets of cards with a letter on each card as follows are placed into separate
bags.
