This activity sheet will help you learn and be able to illustrate combinations of objects.

Think of this!
If your school canteen offers pork, beef, chicken, and fish for main dish, chop suey,
pinakbet, and black beans for vegetable dishes, banana, and pineapple for dessert, and
tea, juice, and soft drinks for beverage, in how many ways can you choose your meal
consisting of 1 cup of rice, 1 main dish, 1 vegetable dish, 1 beverage, and 1 dessert?

The above situation is an illustration of combinations. You can select your meal
without specific arrangement or order.

COMBINATIONS – the number of ways of selecting from a set when order is not important.
