A Semi-detailed Lesson Plan

in Mathematics 10

I. Objectives:

At the end of the lesson, at least 80% of the students should be able to:
1. Use formula for finding the permutation of n objects taken r at a time.
2. Solve problems involving permutation.

II. Subject Matter

a. Topic: Permutation
b. Reference: Mathematics Learner’s Module; p. 283-300; Next Century
Mathematics 10; p. 389-401
c. Materials: Powerpoint presentation, Cartolina

III. Procedure: (Deductive Method)

a. Review:

The teacher will let the students pick a paper from the box. Each paper
has a number on it. And then, the teacher will ask questions from the previous
topic.

 What is permutation?
 What is factorial?
 What is 4! ?
 Solve 5! – 3!

b. Motivation:

The teacher will form a group with 6 members each. She will give each
group of 4 cards with the letters M, A, T, and H written on each card.
Let the students put the cards on the table face down and shuffle it three
times. Now, from the four cards, let the students choose 3 cards and face the cards
up. On a ½ sheet of paper, they will record the possible arrangement of those 3
letters on the cards.

c. Presentation:

Teacher will present the lesson through Powerpoint Presentation.

d. Discussion:

Teacher will give examples on how to solve problems about Permutation.

 In how many ways can letters w, x, y, and z be arranged in a row?

 P (4,4) = 4!
= 4x3x2x1
= 24 ways

 A license plate begins with 3 letters. If the possible letters are A,

B, C, D, and E, how many different permutations of these letters
can be made if no letter is used more than once?

P ( 4, 3) = n! / (n – r)!
= 5! / (5-3)!
=5x4x3x2x1/2x1
= 120 / 2
= 60 ways

 In how many ways can a President, a Treasurer and a Secretary be

chosen from among 7 candidates?

P ( 7, 3 ) = n! / (n – r)!
= 7! / (7-3)!
=7x6x5x4x3x2x1/4x3x2x1
= 5040 / 24
= 210 ways

 How many 5 letter permutations can be made using the letters

AVION without repeating a letter?

P (5,5) = 5!
=5x4x3x2x1
= 120 ways

 10 students have appeared in a test in which top 3 will get a prize.

How many possible ways are there to get the prize winners?

P ( 10, 3 ) = n! / (n – r)!
= 10! / (10-3)!
= 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
7x6x5x4x3x2x1
= 3 628 800 / 5040
= 720 ways

e. Generalization:

1. How do you solve problems involving permutations?

2. How do you determine if a situation or problem involves
permutation?

IV. Evaluation:

Answer the following problems on a one whole sheet of paper. Show your solutions.

1. Ten runners join a race. In how many possible ways can they be arranged
as first, second, and third placers?
 2. If Jun has 12 T-shirts, 6 pairs of pants, and 3 pairs of shoes, how many
possibilities can he dress himself up for the day?

3. In how many ways can Aling Rosa arrange 6 plotted plants in a row?

4. Supposed that in a certain association, there are 12 elected members of the

Board of Directors. In how many ways can a president, a vice president, a
secretary, and a treasurer be elected from the board?

5. In how many ways can you place 9 different books on a shelf if there is
space enough for only 5 books?

V. Assignment:

Give 3 examples of problems or situations in real life that involve permutations.

In each example, ‘
a. Explain the problem or situation
b. Solve the problem
c. Discuss how can you use these sample situations in your daily life, especially in
formulating conclusions and/or making decisions.
