III. LEARNING PROCEDURE

Teacher’s Activity Student's Activity

A. Preliminary Activities

“Good morning students!” “Good morning Sir!”

“Please remain standing. May I call in front (Mr. _______________ lead the prayer)
Mr. ______________ to please lead as a
prayer"

“Take your seat” “Thank you Sir”

Ms. ____________ please check your “Yes Sir”

attendance. Just write the names of who’s
absent and late.

“Before we go further to our discussion “Yes Sir”

let’s have a short review on what we've
discuss yesterday ”

What did we discuss last meeting? “The Probability of Simple Events”

“What is Simple Event?” Simple Event is set containing only one

sample space

“Exactly”

“How to get the probability of simple 𝒑(𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕) =

(𝒏𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒇𝒂𝒗𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔 )
events" (𝒏𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔)

“Okay let’s try to find the probability of

simple events ”

1. Jayson is teaching a lesson on

probability. On top of his table deck
of flash cards numbered 1 – 30. He
calls on her student to draw a card.
Find the probabilities of the
following:

 getting an odd numbers

15/30 or ½
 getting a number less than 31
30/30 or 1
 getting an even numbers
15/30 or ½
 2. Using the English Alphabet, find the
probabilities of the following:

 Choosing a vowel
5/26
 Choosing a consonant
21/26
“So that is how to find the probability of
simple event”

B. Motivation

Activity 1: TOSS ME UP!

“Now let’s proceed to our next topic but

before that lets have a short activity” “Okay sir!”

“The title of our activity is “TOSS ME UP”

and I want to divide the class into 3 groups.
This side will be the group 1. This side will
be the group 2 and this side will be the
group 3. Each group will receive an
envelope having marker, manila paper and
a coin”
“Here are the mechanics of the activity:
1. Toss the coin 10 times
2. Record each outcome

“You only have 2 minutes to finish your

task. Are you ready?” “Yes sir”

“Your 2 minutes starts now!”

(The students started to do their activity
“Last 1 minute" and every member participate actively.)

“Your 2 minutes is over.

Activity 2: LET’S ROLL IT!

Because I’ve observe that you are enjoying

performing your activity let’s have a second
activity and I call it “LET’S ROLL IT! Earlier
I’ve gave you a coin and toss it up 10 times
but this time you’re going to roll a die and
here the mechanics of your activity:

a. Roll the die 10 times

b. Record each outcome

“You only have 2 minutes to finish your

task. Are you ready?” “Yes sir”

“Your 2 minutes starts now!”

(The students started to do their activity
“Last 1 minute” and every member participate actively.)

“Your 2 minutes is over.”

“Go to your assigned sit”

(The students go to their respective
assigned seat)
C. Presentation of the lesson
 “I have a question.”
“When you’re performing your activity, “Sir!”
what things or circumstances are being
formed in your mind? Or basically what is
our topic for today’s morning? Anyone
coming from the class?”

“Yes Mr. ___________”

“Sir I guess it’s all about experiment”
“Exactly!”

“Yes it’s all about experiment, specifically

speaking it’s all about Experimental
Probability”

D. Development of the lesson

“What is experimental probability?”
“Experimental probability is what actually
happens when we try it out. it is found by
repeating an experiment and observing the
“Very good” outcomes”

“Activity 1 and activity 2 is an example of

experimental probability”

“Now let’s analyse your activity that we

conducted a while ago”

“Very good”

“In illustrating the experimental probability

my dear students, we are using table just
like our activity. It’s either horizontal or
vertical”

“Question?”

“I have another question. How do we get

the probability of an activity using
experimental probability?”

“In experimental probability class we are

using the formula

(𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑜𝑐𝑐𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡 )

𝐸𝑃 =
(𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑙𝑠 𝑚𝑎𝑑𝑒)
“Say for example in our activity 1. What is
the probability of getting a head?

“For group 1, How many head comes up?”

Possible answer
“How many trials do we have?”
10 trials
“So what is the probability of getting a
head?” Possible answer

“very good”

“How about the probability of getting a

tail?” Possible answer

Very good.

How about Group 2, what is the probability

of getting a head?” Possible answer

“very good”

“How about the probability of getting a

tail?” Possible answer

Very good.

“For the last group, what is the probability

of getting a head?” Possible answer

“very good”

“How about the probability of getting a

tail?” Possible answer

Very good.

“Okay let’s try also our 2nd activity.”

“What is the probability of getting number

1?” Possible answer

Very Good

“How about getting a number 2?” Possible answer

Very Good

“How about getting number 3” Possible answer

“Very good”

“How about getting number 4” Possible answer

Very good

“How about getting number 5” Possible answer

Very good
 “How about getting number 6”
Possible answer
Very good!

“So that is on how to get the probability of

an experiment using experimental
probability.”

“Question!”
E. Generalization All: Nothing Sir!

“Again, what is experimental probability?”

“Experimental probability is what actually
happens when we try it out. it is found by
“Very good” repeating an experiment and observing the
outcomes”
“What formula do we use to get the
probability of an experiment using
experimental probability?” (𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑜𝑐𝑐𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡 )
𝐸𝑃 =
(𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑙𝑠 𝑚𝑎𝑑𝑒)
Very Good!

F. Application

“Bring out ½ sheet of paper and let us spin

the world. I have here a roulette and I will
spin it 5 times and you have to record all
the outcomes every spin. Is that clear?”

After that you have to find the probability of

the following:

1. blue is obtained

all the outcomes as I draw the deck of 52
playing cards 5 times with replacement and
find the probability of the following;

Draw 1
2. Heart is obtained Draw 2

3. spade is obtained Draw 4
