A Lesson Plan on the Permutations
QUARTER: 4th DATE: January 8, 2018

YEAR AND SECTION: 10-Shakespeare TIME FRAME: 1 hour
Competency:
 Counts the number of occurrences of an event using: (a) a grid
table; (b) a tree diagram; (c) systematic listing
 Uses the fundamental counting principle to count the number of
arrangements or ways that a task can be carried out.
 Defines a permutation of n objects taken n at a time.
I. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: At the end of one hour, students shall be able to:
1. Illustrate permutation of objects using: (a) a grid table; (b) a tree

diagram; (c) systematic listing;
2. Find the number of permutation of n objects taken n at a time using
the Fundamental Counting Principle ; and
3. Solve problems involving permutations.
II. LEARNING CONTENT:

i. Subject Matter: Solving the n Permutations taken n at a time
ii. Reference: Grade 10 Mathematics Patterns and Practicalities by
Gladys C. Nivera, Ph.D., Minie Rose C. Lapinid, Ph.D. (pp. 288-
309)
iii. Materials: chalk and board, manila paper, marker
III. LEARNING PROCEDURES:

A. Mood Setting
 Routine Activities
i. Prayer
ii. Energizer
iii. Checking of Attendance
iv. Classroom Management
 Review
v. Let students recall the previous lesson
 Motivation
Find anagrams of these words. (Hint: body parts)
a. keen- _____
b. lamp- _____
c. fringe- _____
d. earth- _____
e. inch - ______
Q1: What is an anagram?
Answer: An anagram is a type word play, the result of rearranging the
letters of a word or phrase to produce a new word or phrase using the original letters
exactly once.
B. Presentation of the Lesson
a. ACTIVITY:
1. Consider a set of letters, {A, C, T}. How many ways are there to arrange these
letters?
Solution 1:
a. Using grid table
A ACT ATC 2
C CAT CTA 2
T TAC TCA 2
Number of =6

b. tree diagram

Q2. How many ways are there to arrange these letters?

Answer: 6 possible arrangements
Solution 2:
We can select any of the 3 letters to the first. Thus, these are 3 choices for
the first letter. Once the first letter has been selected, there are only 2 choices in the
second letter. Finally, there is only one choice for the third letter.
A C T
3 2 1
By the Fundamental Principle of Counting, there are 3•2•1 =6 possible

arrangements.
Fundamental Principle of Counting- If you have an
event “a” and another event “b” then all the
different outcomes for the events is a•b.
2. Ask for four representatives from the class and let them demonstrate the set of
arrangement they could have out of themselves and determine the number of ways.
3. Evaluate: a. 5P5 b. 8P8
Solution:
a. 5P5 = 5•4•3•2•1 = 120

b. 8P8 = 8•7•6•5•4•3•2•1 = 40 320
b. ANALYSIS
1. Were you able to list all the possibilities asked for? What method(s) did you
use in order to give the accurate count?
2. Did you encounter any difficulty in illustrating the permutations of the object?
How?
c. ABSTRACTION
A permutation of the set of objects is an ordered arrangement of the

items.
The number of n permutations taken n at a time is denoted by nPn.
The process of finding the number of possible arrangements of the set of

objects discussed in activity 1 can be generalized to a set of n objects.
There are n choices for the first selection, n-1 for the second, n-2 for the
third, and so on. For the nth selection, there is only one choice.
The findings above can be stated as follows:
The total number of permutations of set of n objects is given by
nPn = n(n-1)•(n-2) •…..•3•2•1
nPn = n(n-1)•(n-2) •…..•7•6•5

d. Application
Direction: In a one sheet of paper, answer the following using any methods.
1. In how many ways can six books be arranged on a shelf?

2. In how many ways can seven students be arranged in a
line?
3. Evaluate:
a. 4P4
b. 6P6
c. 7P7
V. ASSIGNMENT (one-half sheet of paper)
Consider a set of letters, {H, A, V, E}. How many ways are there to arrange
these letters? Use two of the four methods presented.
