Learning Procedure
A. Preparatory Activity
1. Review
Class, I am going to distribute number
cards for each of you. Remember the
number that will be given to you because
that will be your number. I will draw a
number from this bowl and whoever gets
the number I have drawn will answer the
question I will give. Do you understand?
(The teacher will draw a number and
then give the question) what is an
assumption?
Yes maam.
Assumption is an idea that suggested
a possible explanation for a particular
situation or condition, but which has
not yet been proved to be correct or
true.
Prediction is a statement made about
the future, foreseeing the future
results or happening.
No maam.
