Lesson 105 :ANALYZING DATA OBTAINED FROM CHANCE USING EXPERIMENTS

INVOLVING LETTER CARDS (A TO Z) AND NUMBER CARDS ( 0 20)

Week 9
Objectives: Analyzing data obtained from chance using experiments involving letter cards (a to
z) and number cards ( 0 20)

Value Focus : Have faith in life

Prerequisite Concepts and Skills

Telling the number of favourable outcomes/chances
Writing the ratio of favourable outcomes/ chances to the total number of
outcomes/chances
Materials: letter cards (A to Z), number cards ( 0-20 )
Reference: K-12 Grade 5 curriculum M5SP-IVi- 16, Elementary Mathematics VI p. 330 - 333

Instructional Procedure
A. Preliminary Activities
1. Opening Song Pagdatingng Panahon sung by Aiza Seguerra
1.1. Drill
Game ka na ba?
Materials: 4 rolled papers numbered ( 1 to 4 )
8 hidden questions on situations to be predicted
Mechanics:
a. Form 4 teams having equal number of members. The leader of the team
draws and gets 2 questions to be predicted by the team in terms of:
Likely to happen
Impossible to happen
Unlike to happen
Certainty to happen
Equally likely to happen
b. Output of each team will be presented on the board.
c. The class, together with the teacher, processes the responses of teams.

2. Review : Writing Ratio

Find my Partner
Materials: 25 cards with ratio expressed in fraction
25 cards with ratio expressed in colon equal to the former sets
of cards
Mechanics:
 a. Form 4 teams. Have the cards distributed to the class.
b. The first team will stand and look for the partner of the ratio. The next team
follows.
c. The team with the highest number of partner wins

3. Motivation
How many sides does a coin have?
If you are to toss a coin, what is the chance that your coin will land head?

4. Developmental Activities
1. Presentation
PICKING A CARD

J B F D E A G H I C
a. Have each member of the team pick a letter without looking . Let them find the
probability of picking letter G.
b. Ask them to find the number of possible outcomes.
c. Let them answer on the prediction card. Encourage them to determine the probability
of picking G.
d. Lead them to come up with G is 1out of 10 or 1/10
e. Ask them to symbolize the probability as P(G) = 1/10
Let us use the number line to show the probability of an event.
LIKELY
UNLIKELY

0
1/10 1
1/2
impossible We can see on the number line that50%
if probability is less than , an event is certain

unlikely to happen. If the probability is more than the event is likely to happen. A
probability of 1 means the event will certainly happen and a probability of 0 means
the event is impossible to happen.

2. Performing the Activity

Alphabet cards of the same size and shape were put in a bag. 3 cards have letter M,
4 cards have letter A, 2 cards have letter T, and 1 card has letter H.
1. What is the total number of possible outcomes? ______________
2. What is the probability of picking a:
a. card with letter M ________
b. card with letter A ________
c. card with letter T ________
d. card with letter H ________
e. card with a vowel ________
f. card with a consonant ________
g. card with M or T ________
h. card with letter J ________
i. card with T of H ________
 j. card with letter A or T ________

3. Processing the Activities

Instruct the group to post their outputs on the board.
Ask; How did you find the activity?
How did you perform the probability experiment?
How did you express the outcomes of your probability experiment?
What did you notice in the results of your probability experiment?
Lead the discussion on using the formula in expressing outcomes of probability
experiments.
4.Reinforcing the Concept and Skill
Discuss the presentation under Explore and Discover on page _____LM Math 5,
Then let the pupils do the activities under Get Moving and Keep Moving on pages _____
LM Math Grade 5

5. Summarizing the Lesson

Lead the pupils in generalizing the following:
Ask: How do you tell the number of favourable outcomes/chances?

A favourable outcome is the result we want to happen in an

event.

6. Applying to new and other Situations

There are 4 different letters to match with 6 different numbers. If you look for the
probability of getting 1 letter and 1 number combination, what will be your total number f
possible outcomes?

C. Assessment
Study the cards with letters.

I L O V E M A T H
One card is drawn from a well-shuffled 9 letter cards. What is the probability of
drawing a card having the following letter/s?
a. L,O,V,E
b. M, A, T
c. I
d. V, E
e. Y

D. Home Activity
Remediation
There are 4 strawberries flavoured candies and 5 cherry-flavoured candies in a jar. If
Kristine picks first and Randy picks next, what is the probability of picking a strawberry-
flavoured candy? What is the probability of picking cherry- flavoured candy?
