III. PROCEDURE
Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity
A. Preparation
a. Prayer and Greetings
Everybody please stand for the
prayer.
Yenyen, kindly lead the prayer.
In the name of the father... Amen In the name of the father...
Amen
Good afternoon, class. Good afternoon, Miss.
You may now take your seats.
How are you this afternoon class? We’re fine Miss.
Very Good.

b. Checking of Attendance
I’m going to check your attendance.
I think all of you are present since
there are no vacant seats.
Very good.

c. Collecting of Assignments
Did I give you an assignment? Yes, Miss.
Kindly pass your assignment. (passing their assignment)

d. Review
Let’s have a review.
 I have here a cabbage; you are going
to pass this cabbage, while playing a
song entitled “MATHDALI”. When
the music stops, the person holding
the cabbage will pick a leaf and read
the instruction/question.
Do you understand class? Yes, Miss.
Let’s start. (passing the cabbage)

Questions:
1. What is probability? Probability is the chance of
events occurring or happens.
2. What is theoretical probability? Theoretical Probability is the
possible of all outcomes.
3. What is experimental probability? The probability of an event
when ratio of occurrence of
events and total number of
trials is taken.
Do you have any question/clarification class? None! Miss

e. Motivation
At this moment, we are going to have
a group activity. I have here candies. I
want you to pick 1 candy and if you
receive a candy don’t eat yet. (after
passing the candies) Now, those
persons having the same candy will
group together and form your chairs
in a circle. Gather all your candies in
each group and those groups having a
complete number of candies will earn
additional points.

Am I understood class?
(After forming their groups.) Yes, Miss.
I’m going to give you the mechanics
of this game. This game is entitled
“Stand and Count Me”. Each group
should have a secretary to take note if
how many words appear in the song
entitled “Gummy Bear” based on the
word being assigned to you.
Group 1(Maxx)- Gummy
Group 2(Chelly)- Bear
Group 3(Candy Mint)- Doli
Group 4(White Rabbit)- Party
 Am I understood class?
Let’s start.
Yes, Miss.
For group 1, how many gummy have (playing the music)
you listed?
How about group 2, how many Bear
have you listed? There are 18 gummy Miss.
How about group 3, how many Doli 12 Bear Miss.
have you listed? 6 Doli Miss
How about group 4, how many Party 6 Party Miss
have you listed?
How did you find your answer? By counting the words given to
us Miss.
Very good.
Can you say that there is probability
in our activity, class? Yes, Miss.
Why?
Yes, Jasper. There is probability because
there are chances of event
happened.
Correct!
In what specific part of probability?
Yes, Angeline. Simple event, Miss.
Very good.

B. PRESENTATION
What comes into your mind when you
hear the word simple event?
Yes, Reynaldo. Miss, I think it only involves
one.
Very good.
Now, let’s define first a simple event.
Group 1(Maxx), kindly read. A simple event is an event that
consists of exactly one
outcome or we can say that, a
simple event is the event of a
single outcome.
Thank you group 1(Maxx).
The probability of simple event is the
number of favorable outcomes to the total
number of outcomes.
The formula in getting the probability of
simple event is:
𝒏𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒇𝒂𝒗𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔
P(event)= 𝒕𝒐𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝒏𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔
 In solving the probability of an event we
must remember:
Please read group 3(candy mint). 1. Identify the unknowns.
2. Review the different
method on how to find
the probability of
simple events.
3. The probability of any
event is always greater
than 0 but less than 1.
Thank you group 3(candy mint).

Example:
When rolling a die, what is the
probability of the following:
1. getting even number
3 1
= 𝑜𝑟
6 2
2. getting 5 1
=
6
3. getting odd number 3 1
= 𝑜𝑟
6 2
4. getting 3 1
=
6

Do you understand, class? Yes, Miss.

C. PRACTICE
This time, let’s have an activity with the
same group. Let’s have a game entitled
“Raise Me”. I will flash a problem then
you are going to write your answer in the
illustration board. After that, you are
going to raise your answer. Each group
must be alert because this is a contest.
The first group raising their answer will
earn a corresponding point.
Do you understand, class? Yes, Miss.
1. A bag contains 14 balls with different
numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,
11, 12, 13, 14 printed on them. A ball
is drawn from the bag. Find the
probability that the number of ball
drawn is:
7 1
= 𝑜𝑟
a. Even number 14 2
 1
b. Ball of 5 =
14
7 1
= 𝑜𝑟
c. Odd number 14 2
1
=
d. Ball of 3 14
1
=
e. Ball of 7 14
1
=
f. Ball of 14 14
1
=
g. Ball of 10 14
1
=
h. Ball of 8 14

Let’s have another activity.

1. When you pick a card from 52
deck of cards. What is probability
of the following:
a. Picking a jack 4 1
= 𝑜𝑟
52 13
13
b. Picking a diamond =
52
Do you have any questions/clarifications
class? None! Miss

D. ABSTRACTION/GENERALIZATION
Is it easy to find the probability of simple
events?
Yes, Adrian. Yes, Miss
In what way? By using the formula of simple
event, Miss
Very good.
What is the formula in getting the
probability of an event?
Yes, Jaed.
P(event)= 𝒏𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒇𝒂𝒗𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔
𝒕𝒐𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝒏𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔

Very well said.

Do you have any questions/clarifications,
class? None! Miss.

E. VALUING
How can you relate probability of simple
events in real life situation?
Yes, Yenyen. Miss, we can relate it in
gambling and gaming.
 Please give an example.
Yes, Jean. In swertres,Miss…
Very good.
Now, you know already that there is only
a less probability of winning the swertres
and more probability of losing the game.
Do you have any questions/clarifications,
class? None! Miss.
Very good.

IV. ASSESSMENT
Solve the following using the probability of simple event. Write this in your activity
notebook.
When you pick a card from a 52 decks. What is the probability of the following:
a. Picking a heart
b. Picking a club
c. Picking an ace
d. Picking a queen

V. ASSIGNMENT
Solve the following problems. Write your assignment in your assignment notebook.
A day of the week is chosen at random. What is the probability of choosing a Tuesday or
Thursday?
