The purpose of this paper is to enhance the elaboration of the principle of lesson organization (Table 1), summarized in this research (Ⅱ) (Hisadomi, 2014), through an action research of “event and probability” in high school subject Mathematics A.

The result of qualitative and quantitative analyses of the lesson based on the principle of lesson organization showed the following two points:
(1) After expressing the task setting as experimental results (model-of), each of the learning stages: intuition, reflection, and analysis work effectively when the level of activity is raised;
(2) When Learning and Teaching of probability is conducted based on the principle of lesson organization, there is a tendency for students’ consciousness of “equally likely” to increase.
Learning and Teaching based on the principle of lesson organization, specifically for “quadratic function” in high school subject Mathematics Ⅰ (Hisadomi, 2014) and “event and probability” in high school subject Mathematics A, demonstrated the effectiveness of the principle of lesson organization. From these two case studies, the principle of lesson organization was considered to be effective in students’ understanding of a new concept, especially in the introduction of a unit.
