on Critical Content in
Mathematics 8
OBJECTIVES:
For this session, the teachers will be able to:
•relate probability to statistical measures
involving real-life problems;
•solve problems under Statistics and
Probability, 4th quarter of Math 8;
•Identify the appropriate assessment that
is suited to the critical content.
OBJECTIVES:
For this session, the teachers will be able to:
•create problems/activities/ tasks under Statistics and
Probability, 4th quarter of Math 8 that promote critical
thinking skills to the students and/or applicable to daily
life;
•exhibit the problem solving strategies and approaches
applicable in teaching Statistics and Probability, 4th
quarter of Math 8 correctly devoid of misconceptions
and malpractices;

•Measures the likelihood or chance that
an event will occur
•Can be expressed in
•Fractions,
•Decimals, or
•Percentage

Mari is deciding what to eat during lunch. She tossed a coin.
When a Head come up, she will go to Jollibee and order one
of the following (C5,S5,Y5). When a tail comes up, she will roll
a die. If a yields an odd number she will go to Pancake House
and order BP2(2 blueberry pancakes). If the die yields an
even number that is a prime number, she will go to Italliani’s
and order BT(beef tenderloin). Otherwise, she will not eat
her lunch.

A spinner with 8 region numbered 1 – 8 was
spun. If an even number comes up, a die is
thrown; if an odd number comes up the player
will stop. If a die yields an even number, the same
spinner was spun again; if an add number comes
up the player will stop. The cycle continues until 5
even numbers is achieved.
