CLASS – X

LESSON PLAN
CHAPTER-15: PROBABILITY
Unit Geometry (Chapter 15: Probability)
Class Transaction Total: 4 periods (approx. 40 min each)
Pre-requisite for the This lesson requires
course 1. Basic knowledge of Probability
2. An outcome and an event in probability.
3. Empirical or Experimental Probability.
Assessment of 1. Written test
qualifying 2. Lab activity
knowledge 3. HW notebook
Objective • Students will be able to understand analyze the Theoretical Probability
and critically examine the difference between Experimental and
Theoretical Probability.
• Students will also understand sure event and impossible event and their
probability, thereby inculcating competencies like collaboration, critical
thinking and creativity

Learning Outcomes KNOWLEDGE- Students will develop the ability to understand

• Equally likely outcomes
• Sum of probabilities of elementary events
• Complementary events
• Sure Events
• Impossible Events

Theoretical approach of Probability

SKILLS and COMPETENCIES-Students would be able to

1. Differentiate between Experimental and Theoretical Probability.

2. understand sure event and impossible event and their probability.
3. Know equally likely outcomes and develop critical thinking and
collaboration in the process.
4. Analyze and solve simple problems on single events.
Transaction Transaction would proceed in the following manner-
Methodology Strategy Used: Inductive and deductive reasoning, Brainstorming, graphic
(The teacher can use organizer, think pair and share
the mentioned Think Pair and Share: In this activity, students think about a particular question
techniques, wherever individually, then they form pairs to discuss their answers. Following this, the
applicable, and can results are shared in a large classroom discussion. Alternatively, two pairs of
use any other too.) students can pair up to compare and discuss answers. This process forces students
to think individually, and then allows them to analyze and clarify their response
collaboratively.

Brain Storming: In this activity, students are asked to generate ideas on a

certain topic, category or question while facilitator facilitate and record the
answers on the board.
Inductive and Deductive Learning: In Inductive type students proceed from
particular to general statement(example to formula) and in Deductive type
students proceed from general to particular. Students are given formula and they
solve problems using them.
 Numbered Heads: Students are placed in groups and each person is given
a number (from one to the maximum number in each group). The teacher
poses a question and students "put their heads together" to figure out the
answer. The teacher calls a specific number to respond as spokesperson for
the group.
Graphic Organizers: Graphic organizers are some of the most effective
visual learning strategies for students and are applied across the curriculum
to enhance learning and understanding of subject matter content.

Story Boarding-The class would start with a discussion on what the students have
already learnt in the previous classes and hence what is it that they would learn
now. They would also be told the significance of the topic that they would be
studying.

Introduction of the topic- ppt and Digital Content would be shared

Guided practice followed by Independent Practice- NCERT questions to be

discussed in the classroom.

Techniques to be used:
Quiz
Daily Practice Problem
MCQ
Peer Assessment
Case Studies
Lab Activities
Any Other

Self Study, Home Independent Practice: Students would do some questions from NCERT and
Work, Assignments Exemplar in HW notebooks.

HW notebooks to be marked as per the given plan:

• Ignore spelling mistakes and formulae, if not written
• Call parents at regular intervals
• Provide grade-up classes

Marks The weightage would be given by CBSE.
