A. Preliminary Activity

Please arrange your chairs accordingly

and make sure that your area is clean.
(students do)
Can someone lead the prayer? Yes, Anna.
(student do)
You may now take your sit.
Is anyone absent class?
No one Miss.
That is good to hear.
I just want to remind you of our class
rules.
What shall we do when somebody is
talking class?
We listen when someone is talking Miss.
If you want to share your ideas, what shall
you do?
 I guess the rules are clear to you guys. Raise your hands if we want to answer

B. Priming
Before we start with our discussion, let us
first have a quick review about our last topic.
What was our last topic again class?

Our last topic was all about permutation

Good. Miss.
Who can tell me about permutation class?
Yes, Pinky?

Permutation is an ordered arrangement of

Good. n objects taken r at a time.
How do we denote permutation class?

Good. It is denoted by P (n, r) Miss.

What does n stands for class?

Good. n stands for the number of objects Miss.

What does r stand for class?

r stands for the condition taken at a time

Good. Miss.
Therefore, how do we solve a permutation
of an object taken r at a time class?

Kindly read this formula class in chorus?

Permutation of n taken r at a time is equal
to n factorial over (n – r) factorial.
Good.
Any questions about permutations class?

None Miss.
C. Lesson Proper

a. Activity #1 – Open/ Close the Basket

This time class let’s have first an activity.

I want you to group yourselves with 5 members.
Each group will be given a basket which
contains the letters HOPE and an activity sheet.
Using all the letters, simply re – arrange
and form another 4 – letter, 3 – letter, 2 – letter
and 1 – letter arrangement, as many as you can.
The words that are formed may not be readable.

Here are the instructions:

a. Close the basket and shake it.
 b. Open the basket and list the 4 – letter
arrangement of the letters.
c. In 10 minutes, list all the
arrangements you made on the
activity sheet.

Are the instructions clear class?

Yes Miss.
Are you ready, class?
Yes Miss.
You may now start listing the
arrangements of the letters, now class.
(after 10 minutes)

Okay class, 10 minutes is up, stop

writing. Place all your letters inside the basket and
close it class. Just be ready with your answers.
Everybody, I want your attention now.

b. Analysis

How did you find the activity class?

(varied answers)
Did you find it easy?
(varied answers)
Can I ask a representative from group 1 to
write on the board what are the 4 – letter words
you formed?
(student do)
Representative from Group 2 write on the
board all the 3 – letter words you formed.
(student do)
Representative from Group 3 write also
the 2 – letter word you formed.
(student do)
Representative from group 4 write the 1 –
letter word you formed.
(student do)
Very good class.
Group 1, how many arrangements did you
make?
We formed 24 arrangements Miss.
Good.
How about group 2?
We also formed 24 arrangements Miss
How about group 3?
We formed 12 arrangements Miss.
Group 4, how many did you formed?
We formed Miss.
In this manner of arrangement class, do
you think the arrangement of the letters is
important?

Why do you say so?

Yes Miss.

Very good. Because each arrangement is counted as 1

From the activity you’ve done class, how that is why we have 24 arrangements all in all.
did you arrive your answers?

Good.
That is absolutely the things we will We find different combination of letters Miss.
discuss this morning class, Combination.

Based on the activity we had class, any

idea what is combination?

Good. Combination is all about the arrangement of

What have you observed class with the objects Miss.
arrangement of the letters?

Are the letters used still the same class?

(varied answers)
Observe the arrangement you made class,
are you using other letters that is not found in the Yes Miss.

Therefore, in this manner class what can No Miss.

you say about all the combinations of the letters
you made?

No matter the arrangements of the letters

Very good, observation class. That is are provided all the letters are being used then it is
actually what combination exactly means. only counted as one combination Miss.

Good.
What have you observed class if we will
list all the possible combinations class?

Very good. This time class we will derive

a formula in which it would be helpful in It will take time Miss.
determining the number of combinations we
desired class.
Going back to our activity class, how
many letters does the word HOPE has?

How many letter combinations you are

supposed to arrange? There are 4 letters Miss.

Therefore, what particular combination is

emphasized here? 3 letter Miss.
 What does 4 stand for?
It is a combination of 4 taken 3 at a time.

How about 3, class? It is the total number of letters from the

word HOPE

Very Good. It is the desired number of combinations

Therefore, what combination we we will arrange.
emphasized in this manner class if we choose only
3letters out of 4 letters?

Suppose we let the total number of letters This combination means, the combination
from the word HOPE class as n, while the of 4 taken 3 at a time.
numbers we choose to arrange as r, what are the
values of n and r class?

Therefore, if the permutation of n object

taken r at time is denoted by P (n, r), how will you n= 4 and r = 3. Miss.
denote the combination of 4 taken 3 at a time
class?

Good. C (n, r) = C (4, 3)

Do you still remember this symbol

(!) class?

If n = 4 class, what is then the value of

n!? It is a factorial sign Miss.

Good.
a. n! = 4! = 4x3x2x1 = 24
Very good.
How about r! class if r = 3? Yes,
Annabelle?

Good. b. r! = 3! = 3x2x1 = 6

What about (n – r)! who can solve it on

the board?

Good. c.
What is the product of n! and (n-r)! class?

Who can find the quotient of a and d

class? d.
 Therefore, how many 3-letter
combinations can you make class out of the four
letters?

Very good.
Let’s take a look at this example class. There are 4 combinations Miss.
We denoted a combination of n taken r at
a time by C (n, r).

How did you arrive 24 class?

Good.

How about 6 class? How did you get it?

24 is taken from n!

Very good, how about 4 as the total

number of combination?
The product of r! and (n-r)! Miss.

Good!
Therefore, what do you think is the
formula of any combinations of n objects taken r We divide n! over r! (n-r)! Miss.
at a time class?

Very good.

Let’s read the formula that we derived

class.

Very good.
Did you understand now class?
Combination of n taken r at a time is equal to n!
What if I will ask you to find the all over r! times (n – r)!
combination of 4 objects taken 2 at a time using
the same example in the activity, who can write
the formula on the board? Yes, Trisha. Yes Miss.

Good.
 What is the solution now class?

Very good.
Therefore, there are how many 2 – letter
combination can we create class?

c. Abstraction
There are only 6, 2 – letter combination
Did you understand now class what a
we can create Miss
combination is?

Do you know now how to find the

combinations of an object taken r at a time?
Yes Miss.
Who can tell to the class again what is
combination?
Yes Miss.
Good.
How does combination differ from
Combination means the arrangement of
permutation?
objects in which the order does not matter Miss.

Good.
In permutation the arrangement of objects
How do we denote combination class?
does matter while combination the arrangement of
the objects does not matter.
Good.
What does n stand for class?

Good.
C (n, r) Miss.
What about r, what does it stands for?

n stands for the number of objects Miss.

Good.
Any questions so far about Combination
class?
r stands for the number condition given
Miss.
While solving the activity class, what
values did you get so that you will arrive the
answer?
None Miss.
 Where do you think this topic is applicable
in your daily undertakings class?
