III. LEARNING TASKS

a. Preliminaries
 Prayer
Let the students stand up and let them feel the prayer on video
clip.
 Greetings
 Attendance

b. Motivation/Review
Using the concept of “WORD PUZZLE,” the student will guess what
words will be formed, they will write it on the illustration board and raise
their answer immediately. First student raise the correct answer will be
given a points. Different words that will reveal the topic of the day.

c. Activity
(The students will just answer the problem according to what they
understand. The teacher will ask individually)

Answer the following:

A. Suppose you secured your bike using a combination lock. Later you
realized that you forgot the 4-digit code. You only remembered that
the code contains the digits 2, 3, 4, and 7.

1. List all the possible codes out of the given digits.

2. How many possible codes are there?
3. What can you say about the list you made?

B. A close friend invited Anna to her birthday party. Anna has 4 new
blouses (stripes, with ruffles, long-sleeved, and sleeveless) and 3
skirts (red, pink, and black) in her closet reserved for such
occasions.
1. Assuming that any skirt can be paired with any blouse, in how many
ways can Anna select her outfit? List the possibilities.
2. How many blouse-and-skirt pairs are possible?
3. Show another way of finding the answer in item 1.

d. Analysis

1. How did you ensure that your list was complete:

2. What method(s) did you use in order to give the accurate count?

2. Why do you think there is a need to know the number of possible

ways a certain task can be done?

e. Abstraction

Permutation – is an arrangement of all or part of a set of objects with

proper regard to order.
- refers to the different possible arrangements of a set of
objects
 Examples:
Possible choices you have in creating your g-cash password
Arranging 5 different books in a shelf
Possible number of plate number can LTO create

Methods in Determining Permutations

1. Systematic Listing
2. Tree Diagram
3. Fundamental counting Principle

Example 1. Suppose you secured your bike using a combination lock. Later
you realized that you forgot the 4-digit code. You only remembered that the
code contains the digits 2, 3, 4, and 7. List all the possible codes out of the
given digits. Determine the number of permutations made.

2, 3, 4, 7 3, 2, 4, 7 4, 3, 2, 7 7, 3, 4, 7
2, 3, 7, 4 3, 2, 7, 4 4, 3, 7, 2 7, 3, 4, 2
2, 7, 3, 4 3, 7, 2, 4 4, 7, 3, 2 7, 4, 3, 2
2, 7, 4, 3 3, 7, 4, 2 4, 7, 2, 3 7, 4, 2, 3
2, 4, 7, 3 3, 4, 7, 2 4, 2, 7, 3 7, 2, 4, 3
2, 4, 3, 7 3, 4, 2, 7 4, 2, 3, 7 7, 2, 3, 4

Fundamental Counting Principle

If there are m ways to do one thing, n ways to do another and o ways to do
another, then there are m x n x o of doing those things
Given:
4 digit combination lock
2, 3, 4, and 7
4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 24 possible ways

Example 2. A close friend invited Anna to her birthday party. Anna has 4 new
blouses (stripes, with ruffles, long-sleeved, and sleeveless) and 3 skirts (red,
pink, and black) in her closet reserved for such occasions.
1. Assuming that any skirt can be paired with any blouse, in how many ways
can Anna select her outfit? List the possibilities.
2. How many blouse-and-skirt pairs are possible?
3. Show another way of finding the answer in item 1.

Answer:
1. blouses – stripes, with ruffles, long-sleeved, sleeveless
skirt –red, pink, black

Possible outfits:
blouse-skirt blouse-skirt
stripes - red long-sleeved - red
stripes - pink long-sleeved - pink
stripes - black long-sleeved - black
 ruffles – red sleeveless - red
ruffles – pink sleeveless - pink
ruffles – black sleeveless - black
2. 12 blouse-and-skirt pairs are possible
3. Another way of answering is through a tree Diagram

Example 3. In how many ways can Aling Rosa arrange 6 potted plants in a
row?
answer:
Using Fundamental Counting Principle
6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 720 possible arrangements of the plant

Example 4. Given the 4-letter word READ. In how many ways can we
arrange its letters, 3 at a time? And list all three letter possible arrangement.
Given the 4-letter be filled _ _ _
4 choices for the first position 4 3 2
3 choices left for the second position
2 choices left for the third position
We apply the Fundamental Counting Principle (FCP) and multiply: 4. 3. 2 = 24
The arrangements are:
REA RAE RED RDE RAD RDA ERA EAR ERD EDR EAD EDA
ARE AER ARD ADR AED ADE DEA DAE DAR DRA DAE DEA

f. Application

Answer the following questions.

A. (15 points)
Ernan invited his close friends Melvin, Jelson and Lain to his 16 th birthday
which will be held at Hidden Paradise beach resort. He prepared a special
table with chairs placed in a row to be occupied by his three friends?

1. List all possible sitting arrangements.

2. In how many ways can they be seated in a row?
3. Show another way of finding the answer in item 1.
 B. (5 points each)

1. In how many ways can 5 people arrange themselves in a row for picture
taking?
2. List all possible arrangements of the letters RED.
3. Given the 3-letter word PEN. In how many ways can we arrange its
letters,2 at a time? And list all two letter possible arrangement.

g. Assignment
In your activity notebook, try to answer the activity A and B.

A. What is the meaning of Distinguishable Permutations?

B. Solve the following problems

1. Find the number of permutations of the letters of the word
STATISTICS.
2. Find the number of distinguishable permutations of the digits of the
number 348 838.
3. How many distinguishable permutations are possible with all the
letters of the word ELLIPSES?
