Recap about permutation

1. What do you call the number of arrangement of objects?
2. How did you illustrate permutation of objects?
3. What is the formula of n objects taken r at a time?
4. How about the n objects taken all at time?

Establishing a purpose for the lesson

As we look around on our surroundings, we can find different things that are arranged in different ways. Some
of these arrangements play important role in our life. Like how we organize our tasks to do in a day, the clothes in our
cabinets, the songs we play in Music Player, the ingredients in our favorite food, and many more.
And as we continue, does the order on how these objects are arranged really matter? Why or why not? Let’s
find out!

Guide Questions:
As you go along with this lesson here is the guide question that you need to answer
1. How does the concept of combination help in forming conclusions and in making wise decisions?

ACTIVITY 1
Part A. Directions: Answer the following questions. Use comment box to show your answer

Kezia treats Gladys in a dinner. She asked her to choose 2 viands in the menu.

A. If you were Gladys, what will you choose?

B. List (as many as you can) the possible pairs.
C. How many pairs are possible?
D. Does order matter when you selected the food? Why?

Part B.
Directions: Study the task, identify the situations if order does matter or does not matter. Write your answer in the
comment box.
 1. Choosing 5 questions to answer out of 10 questions in a test does not matter
2. Opening a combination lock order does matter
3. Winning in a contest order does matter
4. Selecting 7 people to form a Student Affairs Committee does not matter
5. Drawing a set of 6 numbers in a lottery containing numbers 1 to 45 does not matter

In this activity you were able to identify situations that involve permutations and those that do not. The latter are
called combinations.

ANALYSIS
1. From the activity part A , How did you list the possible pairs?
2. Did it matter in what order you selected the objects?
3. In the items Part 4, can you identify which situations illustrate permutation and which illustrate combination?
4. How did you differentiate the situations that involve permutation from those that involve combination?
5. What if the situation is like this

Illustrative example 1
--
1. Toni was assigned by her teacher to be the leader of her group for their assignment. She was given the
freedom to choose 5 on her classmates to be her group mates. If she chooses Bea, Moira, Kim, Maja, and Alex,
does it make any difference if she chooses Moira, Bea, Kim, Alex and Maja?

Of course not,
because the list refers to the same people.

Example 2
A group of students from Cavite are planning to visit Antipolo City as part of their Lakbay Aral. From the
itinerary they will visit the following places; Antipolo Cathedral (A) Hinulugang Taktak (H) and Pinto Art
Museum(P). How many ways they can select 2 out of the mentioned places?

Example 3

If there are 4 basketball teams in an intertown tournament and each team must go against each other once in
the elimination round, how many games will there be?

ABSTRACTION
Permutations a process of arranging objects where the order and position matter
Combinations is a process of choosing, selecting all or part of a set of objects in which the order or their position
is not important. Furthermore, you can select the items in any order.

APPLICATION
Directions: Read and analyze each statement very carefully. If the situation shows order/arrangement that does matters,
write PERMUTATION. If the situation shows order/arrangement that DOES NOT matter, write COMBINATION.
1. Electing Chairman, Vice-Chairman, and secretary from 10 members of a committee.
2. Arrangement of 3 pairs of couple seating in a circular table with 8 chairs.
3. Making a guest list of 5 teachers that attended your birthday celebration.
4. Choosing 3 favorite desserts in an order, from 12 different menu.
5. Picking five out of ten candies from a bowl.

Practical Applications
6. Mrs. Reyes is a certified plantita who loves to collect aglaonema. There are 12 varieties of agloenema, and she
wants to collect only five varieties.
7. Choose 3 washable face mask from 6 different designs

ASSESSMENT
Directions: A situation is given in each statement. Illustrate and identify if it involves permutation or combination.
 1. In a 5-item Math problem test, how many ways can you select 2 problems to solve?
2. A box contains 3 yellow marbles, 4 green marbles, and 5 red marbles. In how many ways can 3 marbles be
chosen if there should be one marble of each color?
3. In how many ways can a committee of five be formed from seven Senior HS and seven Junior HS if the
committee must have three Junior HS?
4. In how many ways can 4 students arrange themselves in a row for picture taking?
5. In a school with 142 faculty members, the School Head gives Php 2,000, Php1,500, Php1,000 reward for
teachers with the least number of absences. In how many ways can the prizes be distributed?

ASSIGNMENT
1. Follow-up: Give 3 situations that are considered Combination.
