A Semi-Detailed Lesson Plan in Mathematics 10

I. OBJECTIVES: At the end of the lesson 85% of the learners will be able to:
A. Illustrate events, Union and Intersection of Events
B. Illustrate the probability of a union of two events and intersection of events
C. Show teamwork and cooperation through active participation in group activities

II. SUBJECT MATTER

A. Topic : Probability of Compound Events
(Illustrating Union of two events and intersection of events)
B. Reference: Mathematics Grade 10, Learner’s Module
C. Materials: Visual Aid, Activity sheets

III. LEARNING PROCEDURE

A. Preparatory Activities
1. Prayer
2. Greetings
3. Classroom Management
4. Checking of Attendance

B. Lesson Proper

1. Activity

The game is called “Chance Please”. It’s a fun game that helps students recall and introduce
different terms in probability that will be useful in teaching Probability of Compound Events.

Mechanics:
a. Teacher needs one die, toss it and announce the results.
b. Students write down that number and add the result after each toss of the teacher.
c. Players may continue to accumulate points until a one is tossed. When one is tossed, every student still
playing loses all of his/her points for that round.
d. A player may decide to stop at any point before the die is thrown again. He/she puts down the pen and
stands quietly. Once standing, the student may not collect any more points.
e. A game is four rounds. Highest point total wins the game.

2. Analysis

After the activity, the teacher will ask,

a. How did you feel while you did the activity?

b. What was one of the challenges of doing this activity?
c. Ask the winner, what strategy did you use to win the game?

 The teacher will communicate the learning goals students need to achieve for this lesson.

The teacher will give a handout/activity sheets of the definition of terms and ask students to
identify scenes or procedures in the activity that best illustrates the term.

1. Probability - is the chance that something will happen - how likely it is that some event will happen.

2. Experiments – Activities which could be repeated over and over again and which have well defined
results (e.g. tossing a coin)

3. Outcomes – Results of an experiment (e.g. tossing a die- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

4. Sample Space – The set of all possible outcomes

5. Event –It is a subset of a sample space. It is a collection of either one or more than one outcomes of an
experiment.

6. Simple Events – Any event which consists of a single outcome.

7. Compound Events – Events which consists of more than one outcome are called compound events. It
consists of two or more than simple events.

8. Union of events means joining of two things irrespective of their individual behavior. The union of
two events gives us a compound event. Denoted as P (A∪B)

9. Intersection of events means that all the events are occurring together. The intersection of two events
gives us a compound event. Denoted as P (A ∩ B )

10. Complementary event is the probability that the event would not occur [ 1- P(A) ], Denoted as P ( A
)

Probability
P(A)+P(A)=1

Thus , P ( A ) = 1- P ( A )

3. Abstract
Educ12. Student Teaching (Lesson Plan) page 2
 There are different operations performed on events. Union and Intersection are one of them.

Remind students that it is often useful to use a Venn Diagram to visualize the probabilities of
events. To understand more about probability of union and intersection of events, the teacher discuss the
illustrative example found on page 333 of their textbook.

B S

0.4 0.3
0.2

0.1

Illustrative Example: The Venn Diagram above shows the probabilities of grade 10 students joining either
soccer ( S ) or basketball ( B )

Use the Venn Diagram to find the probabilities

a. P ( B )
b. P ( S )
c. P ( B ∩ S )
d. P (B∪S)
e. P ( B U S )

The Teacher will explain that the diagram does not show or represent the entire sample space for B and S.
What is shown are the probabilities.

a. To find the P (B), we will add the probability that only B occurs to the probability that B and S
occur to get 0.4 + 0.3. = 0.7. So, P(B) = 0.7

b. Similarly, P (S) = 0.2 + 0.3 = 0.5

c. Now, P (B ∩ S) is the value 0.3 in the overlapping region

d. P (B∪S) = 0.4 +0.3 + 0.2 = 0.9

e. P (B∪S) = 1- P (B∪S) = 0.1

4. Application (through an assignment)

. Write the answer in a 1 whole sheet of paper.

A. Refer to the Venn Diagram to find the probabilities

 D A

0.3 0.1 0. 4

0.2

a. P ( D )
b. P ( A )
c. P ( D ∩ A )
d. P (D∪A)
e. P ( D U A )

B. Illustrate the given probabilities using Venn Diagram

a. P ( A ) = 0.6
b. P ( B ) = 0.5
c. P ( A ∩ B ) = 0.4
d. Find the P (A∪B)
e. Solve the complementary event P (A∪B) and reflect the aswer in the Venn Diagram.
