Instructional Procedure:
A. Preliminary Activities
1. Drill
Record your prediction on simple probability. Write
0= impossible to happen
= equally likely to happen
1= certain to happen
1) When one writes, he is writing a love song.
2) When one reads his notes, he can pass the test tomorrow.
3) Once a teacher always a teacher.
4) Covering the book makes the owner orderly.
5) A first honor in Grade I will graduate valedictorian in Grade VI.

2. Review
Have a review on solving experimental probability
A bag has 1 blue, 3 green, 2 red, and 2 yellow marbles.
Find the probability of drawing:
a. 1 blue marble
b. 3 green marbles
c. 2 red marbles
d. 2 yellow marbles
e. 2 black marbles

3. Motivation
Show a picture of a stormy weather. Ask the pupils, what would likely to
happen?

B. Developmental Activities
1. Presentation
Present to the class this information. Have the class create a problem on
experimental probability.

In a bag, there are 15 M & Ms chocolate 4 red, 5 yellow, 3 blue and 3 brown.
 2. Performing the Activities
Group the pupils and have them perform the task.
Sample Answer based on the situation above:
1. What is the probability of picking blue M & Ms?
.
3. Processing the Activities
How did you create a problem?
We familiarized the concept and its application to real-life situation.
We thought of the problem we created.
We studied some problems and their solutions.

4. Reinforcing the Concept and Skill

Discuss the presentation under explore and discover on page ___ of LM Math Grade V,
Have the pupils perform the exercises 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:
In creating a problem, we do the following.
Familiarized ourselves with the concept and its application to real-life situations.
Think of the types of problems we want to create.
Read some problems and study their solutions.

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
Create a problem on experimental probability for the following information.
Anna conducted a survey of the students on her classes to observe the
distribution of notebooks. The table shows the results of her survey.
Notebooks Blue Green Red Pink
Number 12 14 8 16

D. Home Activity
Remediation
Create a problem for the information below.
1. There is a bowl containing blue, black, red and green marbles. There are 2 blue, 6
black, 4 red and 3 green marbles.

Enrichment
Create a problem for the information below.
1. I record 40 different vehicles that pass my house. The result are shown in the
table below.
Vehicles Jeep Tricycle Motorcycle car
Frequency 15 18 4 3
