C. Establish a purpose Let the students analyze the tasks or activities below and
for the lesson / answer the question. Is arrangement important or NOT?

Questions :
1. In doing the task/activity, what do we need to
consider?
2. Is arrangement or order of selecting the objects
important? Justify your answer by giving an example
for each situation.

D. Activity Activity: Let’s find out!

A closed friend invited Sara to her farewell party. Sarah has

4 new blouses (stripes, with ruffles, long-sleeved, and
sleeveless) and 3 skirts (pink, yellow and brown) in her
closet reserve for such occasions.
1. Assuming that any skirt can be paired with any
blouse, how many ways can Sara select an outfit?
List the possibilities.
2. How many blouses-and-skirt pairs are possible?
3. Show another way of finding the answer in item1.

E. Analysis Guide Questions:

1. How did you find the activity?

2. How did you determine the different possibilities
asked for in the given situations?
3. Were you able to list all the possibilities asked for?
4. How did you ensure that your list was complete?
5. Did you find any difficulty in finding the answers?

F. Discussion / Permutation
Abstraction - Is an arrangement of all or part of a set of objects
with proper regard to order.
Example:
 Possible choices you have in creating your
G-cash password.
 Arranging 5 different books in a shelf.
 Possible no. of plate number can LTO create
in a day.
Methods in Determining Permutations
1. Systematic Listing
2,3,4,7 3,2,4,7 4,3,2,7 7,3,2,4
Example: Supposed you secure your locker using
combination
2,3,7,4 lock. Later,
3,2,7,4 you realized
4,3,7,2 7,3,4,2that you forget
the 4-digit code. You only remembered that the code
2,7,3,4 4,7,3,2
contains the3,7,2,4 7,4,3,27
digits 2,3,4 and 7. List all the possible
codes
2,7,4,3out of the
3,7,4,2given digits.
4,7,2,3 Determine
7,4,2,3 the number
of permutations made.

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

Example: A newlywed couple is planning to have a

4 kids. On any birth the children could be a son or a
daughter. Use S to represent a son and D to
represent a daughter

3. Two Way Table

Example: D 16.(D,D,D,D)
Sixty people (30 men and 30 women) were asked
what type of movie they would prefer to watch and
 the following responses were recorded:
 6 men preferred rom-coms.
 16 men preferred action movies.
 8 men preferred horror movies.
 12 women preferred rom-coms.
 14 women preferred action movies.
 4 women preferred horror movies

Women 12 14 4 30

4. Fundamental Counting Principles

Example: In how many ways can Aling Rona arrange
6 potted plants in arrow?

6×5×4×3×2×1
= 720 possible ways

G. Generalization How do you determine if a situation or problem involves

permutation?

A PERMUTATION is an arrangement of
objects in which order is important.
Each arrangement can be made using all
or some elements of the set of objects.

H. Application Group Activity

Let’s Try!
INSTRUCTION: Solve the following problem using one of
the methods in determining permutations.

1. In how many different ways can 5 bicycles be parked

if there are 7 available parking spaces?
2. A teacher wants to assign 4 different tasks to her 4
students. In how many possible ways can she do it?

I. Assessment / Let’s Evaluate!
Evaluating Learning
INSTRUCTION: Using the methods of determining
permutations solve the following problem.
1. Ten runners join a race. In how many possible
ways can they be arranged as first, second, and
third placers?
2. If Jun has 11 T-shirts, 6 pairs of pants ans 3 pairs
of shoes, how many possibilities can he dress
himself up for the day?
3. In how many ways can 5 people arrange
themeslves in arow for picture taking?

J. Assignments Study for the next lesson which is factorial notation.
