A. Preparatory Activities
1. Prayer
Everyone, please stand for a
prayer. (The class will pray silently.)
Mark, kindly lead the prayer.
(Students do as told)
Before you take your seats, kindly
arrange your chairs in their proper
alignment and pick up pieces of
papers under your chairs.
You may now take your seats. Thank you, Sir!
2. Greetings
Good morning, class! Good morning, Sir!
How are you today?
We are doing fine, Sir!
I’m glad to hear that!
3. Checking of Attendance None, Sir!
Is there absent today?
Very good, keep it up!
4. Review
What have we discussed last
meeting? Sir, we discussed about the
permutations.
Yes, Cyril?
Exactly!
Who can define permutation? It is the arrangement of objects in
which order is important.
Yes, Anabelle?
Very good!
Who can give me the three types These are Linear, Distinguishable,
of permutations? Yes, Rubilyn? and Circular permutation, Sir!
Awesome!
What is the formula in finding the n!
number of permutations of n object nPr= ( n−r ) ! , Sir!
taken r at a time? Yes, JB!
Precisely!
And what is the formula in finding n!
P= , Sir!
the number of distinguishable n1 ! n2 ! … nk !
permutations? Yes, Nicole?
Very good!
How about the formula in finding
the number of circular P= ( n−1 ) ! , Sir!
permutations? Yes, Miguel?
Bravo!
It is good that you still remember
our lesson about the permutations,
let’s have another topic for today.
Class, aside from the word
permutation there is another term
in mathematics, that refers to the
arrangement of objects. What do
you think it is? Yes, Raeven? COMBINATIONS, Sir!
Precisely! That is combination.
B. Development Activities
1. Presentation of the Lesson
At this juncture, we will discuss
about Combinations.
OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the lesson, the
students must be able to:
a. state the combinations;
b. differentiate the permutations
from combinations of n objects
taken r at a time;
c. solve problems involving
combinations; and
d. cite instances using combination
in daily life.
2. Discussion
At first, let’s define what is
combinations.
Everybody, read loudly! Combinations is an arrangement
of n objects with no repetitions and
the order is NOT important. The
number of combinations of n
objects taken r at a time is
n n
denoted by C ( n , r ) , n C r , Cr ,∨( ). The
r
combination of n objects taken r at
n!
What is the key word in defining a time is: nCr= , n≥ r .
r ! ( n−r ) !
the combinations? Yes, Albos?
The key word there is the order is
Very good! not important.
In combinations, the order is not
important unlike permutations the
order is important.
Let’s deepen our knowledge about
their differences by the given
problems.
Example:
Analyze each situation if it is
asking for a combination or
permutation.
Answers:
1. In how many ways can five cars
1. Permutation
line up for a race?
2. Combination
2. In how many ways can five
players for a team be chosen from 3. Permutation
seven players? 4. Combination
3. In how many ways can three 5. Combination
guitar players be seated in the
first, second, and third seats in the
orchestra?
4. In how many ways can three
paintings be chosen for display
from a collection of 10 artworks?
5. Given five different toppings
from which to choose, how many
different four toppings pizzas are Yes, Sir!
possible?
Is it clear?

for the number of ways in choosing
an object. I fix my bed and pray, Sir!
As you wake up today, What did
you choose to do first? Yes Jerald?
Thank you, Jerald. How about you,
Angeli?
Thank you, Angeli. As soon as we
wake up, we make choices.
Whether to do this or that. In our
everyday doings, we make choices.
So, we must choose wisely not only
during election but in every
decision we make. As Catherine
Pulsifer says, “Life presents many
choices, the choices we make Combinations refers to the
determine our future.” arrangement of n objects with no
repetitions and the order is NOT
important, Sir!
E. Generalization
n!
nCr= , Sir!
To sum up today’s lesson, what is r ! ( n−r ) !
combinations? Yes, Althea?
Great! In solving for that, what
formula are we going to use? Yes,
Isie?
Yes, Sir!
Correct! None, Sir!
I believe that everyone really
understood our lesson because
your enthusiastic in answering all
of our questions.
Is everything clear?
Any clarifications?
