Detailed Lesson Plan

in
Mathematics

I. OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
A. Define compound events;
B. Solve problems involving compound events; and
C. Actively participate in the discussion of the lesson.
II. SUBJECT MATTER
A. Topic: Compound Events
B. References: Mathematics Grade 10 Learner’s Module
C. Materials: Visual Aids and chalk.
III. PROCEDURE
Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity
A. Motivation

Class, I have 5 envelopes here. These envelops

contain a jumbled letter. The only thing you can do
is to arrange the letter. I will group you into 5. I’ll
give you 4 minutes to do the activity and when
you’re done, clap 3 times and say “done.”

Hint
“OCMPONUD VENTSE”
The first word is its starts with C and end with D.

Compound
The second word start with E and end with S.

Events
B. Presentation
Based on your activity class, what word did
you find out?

Compound events ma’am.

Very good.
 C. Discussion

So our topic for today is about “Compound

Events”. So class before we tackle compound
events, we must first define probability. So class,
what is probability? Probability is the likelihood that an event will
occur.

Ver good.
So now class, what is a compound event? Compound events is one which there is more
than one possible outcome.

Very good.

n
P (A) =
N

n – the number of all possible outcomes in the

event.
N – number of all possible outcomes in the
experiment.
Take note that 0<P<1

For example:
n
1. A visitor will arrive next week, what is the 2. P (A) =
N
probability that he will arrive on Monday?

P (A) = 365

birthday correctly? 2 3

and 3 yellow marbles. What is the probability of n

4. Among 100 were students interviewed 28 took 8
PE, 31 took Bio, and 42 took Math, 9 took PE and
BIO, 10 took PE and Math, 6 took Bio and Math, 4
took all three subjects. Compute the probability d.
that a student interviewed selected at random:
1
P (A) =

a. only in Math
b. at least two of the three options 4.
c. exactly two of the three options
d. have math but not pe and bio a)
e. none of the three subjects

Yes ma’am.

Compound events is one which there is more

than one possible outcome.

Did you understand class

D. Generalization
What is compound event again class?
 Probability is the likelihood that an event will
occur.

Compound events is one which there is more

than one possible outcome.
