Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

A. Preliminary Activities
1.Prayer
May I request everyone to please stand and let’s
have our opening prayer.
(All students will stand, and Irene will lead the prayer)

Irene, please lead the prayer.

2.Greetings
Good morning class!
Good morning, Ma’am Nurkisah!

How is everybody?
Feeling good Ma’am.

That’s great!

3.Classroom Management (Students will do so)

Class before you take your seats, please pick up some
pieces of papers and trash then arrange your chairs
properly.

Alright. You may take your seats. Thankyou Ma’am

4. Checking of Attendance Yes Ma’am

Is everybody present today, class?

Glad to hear that!

5.Classroom Rules
Before we begin our class, let me remind everyone of
our classroom rules that you need to follow inside the
classroom.

CLASSROOM RULES
1.Come to class on time.
2.Raise your hand before speaking.
3.Always be kind and respectful.

Yes Ma’am!
Is that clear class?

1. Review

2. Motivation:

Today, we are going to have another topic to talk

about. Are you all excited?

But before that, I have something to show you.

Okay class, what do you call this kind of lock?

(Show to them the combination lock) That is a combination clock!

Page | 2
Very Good! This is called a combination lock.

Because it could be locked using a combination of

Why do you think it is called a combination lock? numbers.
Why not a padlock? Or simply just a lock?

Very good!

For example, I could set a combination of numbers

like 1234, as my password to secure my things like
my baggage when I’m travelling. “No Ma’am.”

Do you have this at home, class?

(Students answers may vary)

Then what do you do to secure your things? Like your

wallet, cellphone, and other important things? I use pattern lock on my cellphone.

Yes Mr. Al? I use face lock Ma’am.

How about you Regine? To secure our things Ma’am

Why is it important to use lock or any kind of lock?

Yes, Ivan?

Yes, ma’am!
Alright! It is important for us to secure our things so
that we will not lose it or get it taken away from us.

Do you understand, class?

1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2,…

So, before we start our proper discussion, let us have

an activity first.
Now, let’s divide the class into 4. Count 1, starting
from there.

Page | 3
All number 1 will stay here, all number 2
stay there, number 3 stay there and number 4 stay at
the back …

Go now to your respective groups quietly in the count

of 5.

Okay, class we will have a game entitled

“CODE BREAKER’’

I am going to distribute a combination lock for each

group. This game is simple. All you need to do is to
unlock the box in 2 minutes. Take note that every
member of the group should be given a chance to
unlock it. There are items in the box and that will be
your prize.

HINT: the 3 digit that will lead to the possible code None, ma’am.
are 1,5, and 8.

Do you have any clarifications?

None? Okay.

The 2 minutes will start now! (Alarmed ring, after 2

minutes) Yes, ma’am!

TIME’S UP!

Did all groups unlock the box? 185 851 581 518 815

Very Good!

Before you arrive at the correct code,

what are the arrangements that you’ve
There are 6 possible arrangements of the digits 1 5 8.
tried?

Okay.
So, including the 1st possible code (1,5,8) and the
exact code (5,1, and 8) how many possible
Page | 4
arrangements of the 3 digits? Yes group 1?

How about the other groups, do you have the same

answer with group 1?

Okay, later we will check if your answers are correct.

How about if there were 8 digits in a code like your
Facebook account password, can you tell how many
possible arrangements of your password in two
minutes maximum?
Yes, Ma’am.
We can tell how many possible arrangements codes
are there in 8-digits but it will take a lot of time to
count all the possible arrangements.

EXACTLY!

A. PRESENTATION
Now class, for example, you were riding on a bus with
2 of your friends and there were 3 vacant seats in a
row. In how many ways you can arranged yourself?

So, I need three volunteers here in front.

Yes Ed, Ivan, and JM.

Say for example, Ed, Ivan, and JM were on the bus,

and these are the vacant seats.

So, one possible arrangement is that Ed is beside Ivan Ma’am another possible arrangement is Ed, JM, and
and JM, or we can represent it in symbols. Ivan

So, one possible arrangement is EIJ. Who can give me

another arrangement?

Yes, Rica?
Ma’am another possible arrangement is JM, Ivan and
Ed.

Very Good! Who can give another possible

Page | 5
arrangement?

Yes Prince?

Okay, another one? None?

Let us list down the six possible arrangements for

three people in a bus.
There are six possible arrangements.
EIJ IJE
EJI JIE
IEJ JEI

Okay Ed, Ivan, and JM you can now take your seats.

How many possible arrangements are there?

Very Good. So, there are six possible arrangements

for three people sitting on 3 seats on a bus.

Now class, instead of listing all the possible

arrangement of an object, mathematics has an easy
way of solving problems, which is concerned with
arrangements.
PERMUTATIONS
Refers to any one of all possible arrangements of the
And that is by Permutation.
elements of the given set.

To start the lesson, let us define first what is

Permutation.

Yes, Al?

That’s right.
Permutation is the arrangement of objects where order
is important.

Page | 6
 Permutations of the distinct object.

The formula for permutation is 𝑛𝑃𝑟 = (n−rn! !)! 185 851 581 518 815 158

Please read everyone.

…
For instance, given a set of distinct objects, we can
arrange them in several ways. Like what we did with
the possible arrangements of the 3-digit code.

The listed arrangements are what we called ________.

“Rule no. 1: The number of permutations of n distinct

Again, what are the permutations of the digits objects taken all a time is given by n!”
1,5, and 8?

Yes, that’s correct!

Now, how are we going to calculate permutation?

Let us discuss the rules of Permutation.

Kindly read, Julian?

We have 3 distinct objects.

They are Ed, Ivan and JM.
Thank you Julian.

Class, n! = n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)…3.2.1. Say for example,

5•4•3•2•1=5! And we read this as “Five factorial”.
So, 5! = 120.

In our example a while ago, how many distinct objects

do we have?

Yes Namy? And what are they Namy?

Very good Namy.

Remember class that the object that we are talking

about is the subject that is being permuted. It may Yes Maam.

Page | 7
be an animal, a person, a letter, or any other things.

Going back to our example, we have three

objects, so to find the possible permutations, we will
have 3!.3! = 3•2•1=6

3! Is equal to six. Is it the same to your answer a while

ago? So instead of listing all the possible permutations
of an object, we can use n! in order to find on
how many ways can we arranged n objects.
Understood?

4!= 4•3•2•1
=24
Let’s have another example.

In how many ways can 4 people arrange

themselves in a row for picture taking?
Try to solve this problem by yourselves. “Rule no. 2: The number of possible objects taken r at
n!
a time is given by nPr =
n−r !
Okay. Are you done? Who wants to solve on the
board?

Yes Arabelle?
Very good Arabelle!

Now let’s proceed to rule no. 2.

Yes, NJ kindly read?

Thank you NJ.

Say for example, we have 5 passengers and there

were only 3 vacant seats. Inhow many ways can
we arranged the 5passengers? Rule no.2 can answer
thisquestion. This means that we will take 5passengers
3 at a time or 5P3.Substituting tothe formula, we have

What is the formula in finding the number of

permutations of n objects taken r at a time?

Page | 8
That’s right. P(n,r) = n (n-1) (n-2) …. (n-r+1)

the number of permutations of distinct n objects taken

r at a time?

*n is the number of objects and r is the number of

how many objects will be taken at a time.

Class, select your partner for our next activity.

Do you have now your partner?

Good!

Now, perform the activity entitled

“LET’S FIND OUT”

Here is the direction and the format of the activity,

which you will write on your 1whole sheet of paper.
(post the format on the board)

I will give you 5 minutes to work on that.

Remember that no erasures.

Do you have any clarifications?
