Instructions:
1) Collect data from classmates' favorite colors.
2) Create a bar graph to represent the data.
3) Interpret the graph to draw conclusions.
Rubric:
- Accuracy of data collection - 15 pts
- Clarity of the graph - 10 pts
- Correct interpretation - 10 pts
Assessment Questions:
1) How did you collect the data accurately?
2) What does each bar in the graph represent?
3) What conclusion can you draw from the graph?
Activity 2: Probability Experiment
[Teaching Strategy: Experiential Learning]
Materials: Deck of cards, coin
Significance: Understanding basic probability concepts through hands-on

experience
Instructions:
1) Toss a coin and record outcomes.
2) Draw cards from the deck and calculate probabilities.
3) Compare theoretical and experimental probabilities.
Rubric:
- Accuracy in recording outcomes - 15 pts
- Correct calculation of probabilities - 10 pts
- Comparison of probabilities - 10 pts
1) How did you calculate the probability of drawing a red card?
2) Compare the theoretical and experimental probabilities.
3) Explain the concept of probability using the experiment.
Inclusive Activity 3: Probability Storytelling
[Teaching Strategy: Storytelling]
Materials: None
Significance: Enhancing understanding of probability through storytelling
Instructions:
1) Create a story where probability plays a role.
2) Share the story with classmates.
3) Discuss the probability events in the story.

Rubric:
- Creativity of the story - 15 pts
- Probability events integration - 10 pts
- Participation in discussion - 10 pts
1) How did you incorporate probability in your story?
2) Identify the probability events in your classmates'.
3) Discuss the likelihood of each event.
ANALYSIS:
Activity 1 - Students demonstrated understanding of data collection and

interpretation.
Activity 2 - Students grasped basic probability concepts through practical

experimentation.
Activity 3 - Students engaged actively in probability storytelling, connecting concepts

creatively.
ABSTRACTION:
Understanding statistics and probability helps students analyze data, make

predictions, and interpret information effectively.
Supporting Material 1 - "Statistics for Kids" - Introduces basic statistical concepts in a

child-friendly manner.
Supporting Material 2 - "Probability Made Simple" - Breaks down complex probability

concepts for easy understanding.
APPLICATION:
[Teaching Strategy: Project-Based Learning]
Task 1 - Design a survey on a relevant topic and analyze the data collected.
Task 2 - Create a board game that incorporates probability concepts.

ASSESSMENT:
[Teaching Strategy: Differentiation]
[Instructional Materials: Assessment sheets]
Question 1 - How can statistics help us understand trends in data?
Question 2 - Explain the difference between experimental and theoretical probability.
Question 3 - Analyze a given statistical graph and draw conclusions.
H.O.T.S.:
Question 1 - How might collecting more data points affect the accuracy of statistical
analysis?
Answer 1 - Collecting more data points can increase the reliability of statistical trends
and predictions by reducing sampling errors.
Question 2 - Why is it important to distinguish between experimental and theoretical

probability?
Answer 2 - Understanding the distinction helps in predicting outcomes accurately

and making informed decisions based on probabilities.
Question 3 - How can statistical graphs mislead interpretations if not analyzed

carefully?
Answer 3 - Statistical graphs can mislead interpretations if scales are manipulated or

data is misrepresented, emphasizing the importance of critical analysis.
Assignment:
1) Conduct a survey in your neighborhood and create a statistical report.
2) Develop a probability-based game and explain the rules and probabilities

involved.
