III. Introductory Activity

Group Activity
Instructions: Divide the class into 4 groups. Each group has to perform
a task and answer the following questions. Write your answers in a
cartolina / Manila paper
Task 1: Roll a die once
Task 2: Tossing a coin
Task 3: Picking a ball in a box that contains 1 red and 4 blue balls
Task 4: Picking a card in 4 ace cards

Questions for task 1 (Rolling a die):

1. Write all possible outcomes or sample space. {1,2,3,4,5,6}
2. How many elements are there in the sample space? 6
3. How many times do you expect to get 6 by rolling a die once? 1

Questions for task 2 (Tossing a coin):

1. Write all possible outcomes or sample space. {Head, Tails}
2. How many elements are there in the sample space? 2
3. What is the chance of getting a head in a toss coin? 1/2 or 50%

Questions for task 3 (Picking a ball in a box):

1. Write all possible outcomes or sample space. {red, blue, blue,
blue, blue}
2. How many elements are there in the sample space? 5
3. Which color has the higher chance of getting picked in a box of
balls? Blue

Questions for task 4 (Picking a card):

1. Write all possible outcomes or sample space. {Ace of Hearts,
Ace of Diamonds, Ace of Flower, Ace of Spade}
2. How many elements are there in the sample space? 4
3. What is the chance of picking a heart in ace cards? 1/4
 Rubric:
SCORE DESCRIPTION
5 The output is 100% accurate,
clear, and detailed.
4 The output is mostly correct with
1 mistake.
3 The output is somewhat correct
with 2 mistakes.
2 The output has 3 incorrect
answers.
1 The output is not done.

Motivation

Mystery Box

1. Put two different colored balls (1 red, 4 blue) inside a box.

2. Ask a student to pick a ball without looking. Before they do, have the
class predict which color they think will be drawn.
Discussion: Did you have a higher chance of getting red or blue? Why?

B. Establishing a The Longest English Word

purpose for the
lesson What is the Longest English word?
Answer: Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

How many letters are there in this word?

Answer: 45 letters.

Do you know that Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is a

lung disease caused by inhalation of very fine silicate or quartz dust?

Discussion: If you pick a letter from this longest English word, what is
the probability of getting a 'V'? How about getting a 'P'?

Answer: P(V) = 1/45 or 0.0222 or 2.22%

P(P) = 2/45 or 0.0444 or 4.44%

C. Presenting Probability Line

examples/instances
of the new lesson
 Discussion: The probability of an event occurring is somewhere
between impossible and certain. If the event goes near the certain, the
probability of the event is higher.
If the event goes near the impossible, the probability is lower.

Probability of a Simple Event

An event consisting of a single point of the sample space is known as a
simple event. To solve the probability of a simple event, we need to get
the ratio of favorable outcomes to the total number of possible
outcomes or known as the Sample Space. It is being shown by the
formula below:

Number of favorable outcomes

P(event) =
Number of all outcomes
D. Discussing new
concepts and
practicing new skills Example:
#1 1. What is the National Flower of the Philippines?
Answer: Sampaguita
2. What is the capital city of sampaguita in the Philippines?
Answer: City of San Pedro Laguna
3. If I write each letter of SAMPAGUITA in a slip of paper, fold them,
and put them in a box. What is the chance that I pick one slip of paper
containing letter 'A'? Why?
Answer: 3/10 because there are 3 A's out of 10 letters
4. What is the chance of picking a slip of paper containing the letter
'G'? Why?
Answer: 1/10 because there is only one G out of 10 letters.
Another example:
In a Grade 8 class in San Lorenzo School, the math teacher writes
each letter of the word MATHEMATICS on a card. A card is chosen at
random from the box. What is the probability of getting the letter ‘M’?

Since the card is randomly selected, it means that each card has the
E. Discussing new same chance of being selected. There are 11 letters in the box {M1, A,
concepts and T, H, E, M2, A, T, I, C, S} and there are 2 cards with the letter ‘M’ {M 1,
practicing new skills M 2}.

Formative __F__ 2. 13 b. 2/12 or 1/6
Assessment) D or E 3. odd numbers c. 3/12 or 1/4
D or E 4. even numbers d. 6/12 or 1/2
__B__ 5. an odd number divisible by 3 e. 6/12 or 1/2
__B__ 6. an even number divisible by 3 f. 0/12 or 0

G. Finding practical Know it! Show it!:

applications of
concepts and skills In the celebration of the Math Week, San Lorenzo School conducted a
in daily living Poster Making Contest among its students. If there are 12 male
participants and 18 female participants, what is the probability that the
winner is a female student?

18
P(female) =

Answer: The probability of a female winner is 3/5 or 0.6 or 60%.
