Opening prayer
Please stand up and let us pray
In the name of the father…
Greetings …Amen!
Good morning class!
Good morning Ma’am!
You may now take your seat.
Thank you Ma’am.

Please get your assignment and exchange your
papers.

Recall of the Past Lesson

Last meeting we discussed about the Permutation.

Again, What do we mean by permutation?

Last meeting we tackle about permutation and
I’ve learned that permutation refers to the
different possible arrangements of a set of objects
or in other words in permutation arrangement
does matter.
Very Good!

How about the different formulas of permutation?

First is when r is taken at a time?

n!
P ( n , r )= , where n≥ r
( n−r ) !
When n objects are taken all the time?
P ( n , n )=n !

And the last two formulas for distinguishable and

circular permutations?

For distinguishable permutation we have the

n!
formula of P= and in circular
p!q!r !…
Exactly! I’m glad that you remember and permutation we have P= ( n−1 ) !
understand our topic last meeting.

DEVELOPMENTAL ACTIVITY

1. Motivation
Priming Activity
Are you ready for our new topic today
class?

That’s good! Yes, Ma’am!

Well then to have some idea on what is our

topic all about, let us going to have a game
called “Combine Me”.

I cannot say if it is a group activity nor an

individual activity but let’s see. Each one of
you will have a piece of card from my deck of
cards but instead of using a number and a
figure (heart, spade, diamond and flower) for
the cards we will going to use many different
categories like vegetables, fruits, set of people
and etc. When I call your category you should
stand and show to us what’s your card
represent. After all are called in your category
you should tell me what will be the outcome
of all of you if your in hand card are being
combined.

Is that clear?

Okay, we will now start the game. Yes, Ma’am!

1. Tapa, fried rice, fried egg

2. Bitter gourd, eggplant, squash, yard-long Ma’am the outcome will be Tapsilog.
beans, bagoong

3. Apple, banana, papaya, pineapple, melon, Pinakbet

avocado, nestle cream, condense milk

4. Nestle cream, macaroni, condense milk, Fruit Salad

pineapple, fruit cocktail

5. Hotdog, ground pork, tomato sauce, cheese, Macaroni Salad

condense milk, pasta

2. ANALYSIS Spaghetti
Did you enjoy the activity?

Yes, Ma’am!
What have you noticed in our activity done?
 Ma’am, we noticed that every item you gave us
will be combined to form an outcome.
Excellent observation! Now based on it, what
do you think is our topic for today?

Ma’am I think our topic for today is combination.

Exactly!

3. ABSTRACTION

A combination is a way of selecting a set

of amount of (r) things out of a larger group
of (n) objects. The order that the things are
selected does not matter.

A minute ago we recall the definition of a

permutation and it states that in permutation
the arrangement is really important but in
combination we will not mind the
arrangement.

There are two types of combination:

1. Combination without repetition

n!
C (n,r) =
r ! ( n−r ) !
Note: no repetition, order doesn’t matter

2. Combination with repetition

(n+r −1)
C (n,r) =
r ! ( n−1 ) !

Combination without repetition example.

1. How many combinations are possible

from the letters A, B, C, D and E if the
letters are taken:
a. 2 at a time
n=5
r=2

Apply the combination without repetition

n!
C (n,r) =
r ! ( n−r ) !

5!
C (5,2) =
2! ( 5−2 ) !

5!
=
2! ( 3 ) !

5(4 )(3)(2)(1)
=
2 (1 ) 3 ( 2 ) (1)
 = 5(2)
= 10 possible ways.
b. 4 at a time
n=5
r=4

n!
C (n,r) =
r ! ( n−r ) !

5!
C (5,4) =
4 ! ( 5−4 ) !

5!
=
4 ! ( 1) !

5(4 )(3)(2)(1)
C (5,4) =
4(3)(2)(1)

= 5 ways.

2. How many combinations are possible

from the letters of the word
“POLICY” if the letters are taken:
a. 2 at a time
Apply the formula;
n=6
r=2
Apply the formula;
n!
C (n, r) =
r ! ( n−r ) !
6!
C (6,2) =
2! ( 6−2 ) !
6!
=
2! ( 4 ) !
6 ( 5 )( 4 ) ( 3 ) ( 2 )( 1 )
=
2 (1 ) 4 ( 3 ) (2 )( 1 )
= 3(5)
C (6,2) = 15 ways

b. 3 at a time
n=6
r=3
Apply the formula;
n!
C (n, r) =
r ! ( n−r ) !
6!
C (6,3) =
3! ( 6−3 ) !
6!
=
3! (3 ) !
6 ( 5 )( 4 ) ( 3 ) ( 2 )( 1 )
=
3(2) ( 1 ) 3 ( 2 )( 1 )
= (5)(4)
C (6,3) = 20 ways
Did you get it class?
Combination with repetition example

1. In ice cream house there are five

flavors of ice cream; chocolate,
vanilla, caramel, mango and ube.
Select a combination of 3 flavors of
ice cream.

Apply the combination with repetition

( n+r−1 ) !
C (n,r) =
r ! ( n−1 ) !

( 5+3−1 ) !
C (5,3) =
3 ! ( 5−1 ) !

7!
=
3! ( 4 ) !

7(6)(5)(4 )(3)(2)(1)
=
3 ( 2 )( 1 ) 4 ( 3 )( 2 ) (1)

= 7(5)
= 35 ways.
Can you follow class?

1. In how many ways can 8 friends form

teams of 4 persons to play card?
n=8
r=4

Apply the formula:

( n+r−1 ) !
C (n, r) =
r ! ( n−1 ) !

( 8+4−1 ) !
C (8,4) =
4 ! ( 8−1 ) !

11 !
=
4 ! (7 )!

11 (10 )( 9 )( 8 )( 7 )( 6 ) ( 5 ) ( 4 )( 3 )( 2 ) ( 1 )
=
4 ( 3 ) ( 2 )( 1 ) 7 ( 6 ) (5 )( 4 ) ( 3 ) ( 2 )( 1 )

= 11(5)(3)(2)

C (8,4) = 330 ways

2. In a class of 8 boys and 5 girls, how

many ways can a committee made up
of 3 boys and 2 girls?
Boys
n=8
r=3

apply the formula:

( n+r−1 ) !
C (n,r) =
r ! ( n−1 ) !

( 8+3−1 ) !
C (8,3) =
3 ! ( 8−1 ) !

10 !
=
3! (7 ) !

10 ( 9 )( 8 )( 7 )( 6 )( 5 ) ( 4 ) (3)(2)( 1)
=
3 ( 2 ) ( 1 ) 7(6)(5)(4)(3)(2)(1)

= 10(3)(4)
C (8,3) = 120 ways

Girls
n=5
r=2

apply the formula:

( n+r−1 ) !
C (n,r) = A combination is a way of selecting a set of
r ! ( n−1 ) ! amount of (r) things out of a larger group of
(n) objects. The order that the things are
( 5+2−1 ) ! selected does not matter.
C (5,2) =
2! (5−1 ) !
6!
=
2! ( 4 ) ! 1. Combination without repetition
2. Combination with repetition
6(5)(4 )(3)(2)(1)
=
( 2 ) ( 1 ) 4(3)(2)(1)
= 3(5)
C (5,2) = 15 ways n!
C (n,r) =
r ! ( n−r ) !
C (8,4) × C (5,2)
120 × 15
= 1, 800ways.
(n+r −1)
C (n,r) =
Again, what is combination? r ! ( n−1 ) !

In other words, permutation is an ordered

combination.
What are the two types of combination?

n=7
r= 5
What formula that we used in combination
without repetition? ( n+r−1 ) !
C (n, r) =
r ! ( n−1 ) !

And how about the formula of combination ( 7+5−1 ) !

with repetition? C (7,5) =
5 ! ( 7−1 ) !
