Instructional Procedure:
A. Preliminary Activities
1. Drill
Have a drill on:
Conduct a game on recording and expressing outcomes of experimental
probability

2. Review
Conduct a review on how to solve routine and non- routine problems.
Ask the learners to say something about the 4- step plans in solving problems.
Ask them to give some strategies in solving problems.

3. Motivation

M A T H
Ask the class of the probability of picking letter A without looking. Return the card if it is
not letters A, do this 10 times.

B. Developmental Activities
1. Presentation
Present the situation to the class.

A bag contains 12 apples and 4 oranges. What is the probability of pulling

apples?

Ask the pupils to read, and let them solve the problem by groups.
2. Performing the Activities
 Group the pupils and have them perform the task.
Understand
Know what is asked: The probability of pulling apples
Know the given fact: There are 16 fruits in the bag
Plan: There are 16 fruits inside the bag. Twelve are apples.
Use the formula, and then substitute.
P(E) = number of times the event occurs
Total number of Trials
Solve:
12 3
The probability of pulling an apple is: 16 = 4 or 0.75 = 75%

Check and Look Back:

Since the bag contains 16 fruits and 12 are apples, the probability of

3
pulling an apple is = 4 or 0.75 = 75%

3. Processing the Activities

Let the groups present their outputs. Encourage the children to share to the class
how they felt doing the activity.
How did you solve the problem?
Expected answers:
We used the 4- step plan in solving the problem: Plan, Solve, check and look
back.

4.Reinforcing the Concept and Skill

Discuss the presentation under Explore and Discover on page ___ of LM Math Grade V
Ask the pupils to solve the problems under Get Moving on page ____ LM Math Grade V. Check
their Answer. For mastery, have them solve the problems under Keep Moving on Page
_______ of LM Math Grade V. Check the pupils answer.

5. Summarizing the Lesson

Lead the pupils to generalize that :
To solve problems, use the 4-step plan: Plan, Solve, Check and Look Back.

6. Applying to New and Other Situations

Have the pupils do the exercises under Apply your Skills on page ___LM Math Grade
V. Encourage some pupils to show and discuss the answers.

C. Assessment
 1. A die is thrown 100 times out of which 4 appears 30 times. Find the experimental
probability of getting the number 4?
2. A Box contains 15 red balls, 12 blue balls and 13 green
marbles. Find the experimental probability of not getting a green ball?

D. Home Activity
Remediation
Give the answer to the question.
A bag contains 3 red lollipops, 3 green lollipops and 3 orange lollipop. What is the
probability of picking a green lollipop?

Enrichment
1.If a coin tossed 15 times, head appears 3 times. Find the experimental probability of
getting a head?
