Semi-detailed Lesson Plan

in
MATHEMATICS 6

I. Objectives
At the end of the 50-minute discussion, the pupils are expected to:
a. describe chances of the given chances using the probability scale.
b. relate real-life problems to simple probability.
c. find the probability of simple events.
II. Subject Matter
a. Topic: Simple Probability
b. Reference: Soaring 21st Century Mathematics 6, pp. 481- 487
c. Materials: Paper strips, PowerPoint Presentation, Illustrations
d. Method: Discussion Method
III. Procedure
A. Preliminaries
i. Prayer
ii. Checking of Attendance
B. Motivation
 Present a headline to the pupils showing the news regarding the winning of
the Php 1.18 billion jackpot prize in lotto last October, 2018.
 Ask the following questions:
a. What is the headline all about?
b. Who among you or your parents have tried betting in lotto most especially
when it reached more than 1 billion as jackpot prize?
c. Why is it that many are hooked in betting this kind of game?
d. Do you know how much is the chance that a person will win in this?
C. Presentation
 The teacher will introduce the topic by grouping the pupils into 4, each of the
groups will be given paper strips having numerical values to be decoded by
the pupils. The first to come up with the correct answer shall be given a
reward.
 Present the objectives of the lesson.
D. Discussion
 Let the pupils grasp the meaning of the term probability. Emphasize that it can
be determined as the possible outcomes or chances of events to happen, just
like the chance in winning the lotto and many other real-life events.
 Explain that words and numbers can be used in describing the chance of
something to happen.
 Present the probability scale and discuss how it is used.
 Provide various examples starting from describing probability using words
followed by the use of the probability formula to describe using numbers
and/or both.
number of favorable outcomes
 Probability (𝑃) = total number of possible outcomes
 Ask volunteer pupils to answer the given examples using the probability scale.
 Example 1. Snow in the Philippines next year (Impossible)
  Example 2. The sun rising tomorrow (Certain)
 Example 3. Winning the STL today (Unlikely)
 Example 4. Find the probability of getting a head in tossing a coin.
 Example 5. List the probabilities of getting the values of 1, 2 and 3
with the given spinner.
E. Application
 Instruct the pupils regarding the mechanics of the activity. Ask them to go ack
to their previous groups and let them understand on their own the value of
cooperation and collaboration in doing a group task.
 Activity: #IGotYou (Describe the probability of each event.)
1. This month is January.
2. I can count the sand on the seashores.
3. A coin is tossed and showed tails.
4. There are 2 red pens, 3 blue pens, 1 black pen, and 4 green pens in a desk
drawer. All the pens have the same size and shape. Suppose we open the
drawer and grab a pen without looking. In other words, we are choosing
the pen at random and each outcome is equally likely.
a. What is the probability that the chosen pen is blue?
b. What is the probability that the pen chosen is green?
c. What is the probability that the pen is purple?
5. The spinner shown below is equally likely to stop in any one of the eight
regions. It is spun once. Find the probability of each outcome.
a. Not the number seven
b. Prime numbers
c. An odd number
d. A number less than four
F. Generalization
 Think-Pair-Share. Let the pupils look for a pair and have them answer the
following questions. The first pair to share their answers to the class shall be
given a corresponding reward.
a. In what ways can we describe the chances of some situations to happen?
b. What are the words that are used to describe chances? How do they differ?
c. Through numbers, how do we find the probability of simple events?
G. Valuing
 Essential Questions:
a. In what aspects of life can we associate the concept of probability?
b. Why is it important for us to know the chances of things to occur?
IV. Evaluation
A. Describe the following events as having an impossible, unlikely, even, likely or certain
chance.
1. Eating a hamburger in 30 seconds.
2. Strong winds during the rainy season.
3. Your friend will live to 300 years.

B. Solve the following word problems.

4. You have 2 red, 3 blue, and a clear marble in your pocket. If you take out a marble
without looking, what is the probability that it will be a red marble?
5. A multiple-choice quiz has five questions. Each question is answered with a, b, c and
d. How many possible outcomes are there?
6. A quiz has five true-false questions and five multiple-choice questions. If each
multiple-choice question has four choices, how many possible outcomes are there?
 7. Suppose e is included as a possible answer to the question in problem 3, how many
possible outcomes are there?

C. For 3 points, create a real-life word problem which can be answered by applying the
probability of simple events.pp
Rubric: 1 point – Creativity
1 point – Realistic
1 point – Relevance
V. Assignment
Problem Solving:
1. A card is drawn at random from a deck of cards. Find the probability of
getting the 3 of diamond.
2. The blood groups of 200 people are distributed as follows: 50 have blood type
A, 65 have blood type B, 70 have O and 15 have blood type AB. If a person
from this group is selected at random, what is the probability that this person
has blood type O?
