B. Priming
How was the weather today?
What could be the weather later?
What did you do first when you wake up?
Did you think about getting up/ breakfast for the day/ homework to do/ continue your
dream this morning?
What were the clothes that you thought you would have worn today?
Did you watch Meant to be Yours? Who could be Billie’s top 2 from the four boys
she had?
C. Motivation
Math Magic
A deck of playing cards will be shown in the class. The class will be asked to pick any
card they want and is to be predicted by drawing one card out of the deck.
Two groups of cards of fives of different suits will be shown in class. It will be shuffled
and the class will be shown how Math predicts the pairs of the cards.
Another 5 pairs of cards will be separated from the deck of card and will be shuffled. As the
magic proceeds, Math will separate the suits of the same color from the different.
D. Activity
IV. Analysis
1. How was the game?
2. Did you have a chance to play the game and get the prize?
3. What are the possible prizes that you could get?
4. What combination of prizes did you choose?
5. If it stopped at the laughing face, what were the possible questions to answer?
6. How about the possible consequences that you must do?
7. Who were the people you chose as 1st and 2nd and who re the other people that
you might have chosen?
8. What were the tasks you chose, and the other possible tasks you might have
chosen?
9. What could be the numbers of the possible combinations to choose from the
prizes/ tasks/ people?
10. So from the activity we had, who can guess the lesson for the day?
V. Abstraction
A. Combination is an arrangement where order does not matter.
𝒏!
𝒏𝑪𝒓 =
𝒓! (𝒏 − 𝒓)!
EXAMPLE 1: We had the game “Wheel of your Fortune Today” wherein you have the chance
to win prizes. If it stops on the happy face you can get two out of 5 candies in the prize box.
What are the different candy prizes you can get from the box?

XO SO HH
XO SO SO XO HHXO CCXO
𝒏!
𝒏𝑷𝒓 =
(𝒏 − 𝒓)!
where n is the number of things to choose from,
and we choose r of them
no repetition, order does matter
Note: Permutations are good for ordered lists, competition results where it
matters what order is selected as 1st, 2nd or third.
EXAMPLE2: Since it stopped on the laughing face. You have to answer the question by
choosing the 1st and the 2nd noisiest person among Rhadca, Gillian, Lea, Paul, Joice, and
Ramon. What are the different pairs of top 2 noisiest people in the class?
Rhadca Paul
Gillian Lea Joice Ramon
Rhadca xGillian GillianxRhadca LeaxRhadca PaulxRhadca JoicexRhadca RamonxRhadca
Rhadcax Lea GillianxLea LeaxGillian PaulxGillian JoicexGillian RamonxGillian

𝒏! 𝟔!
𝒏𝑷𝒓 = (𝒏−𝒓)! = 𝟔𝑷𝟐 = (𝟔−𝟐)!
There are 30 possible pairs of
𝟔∙𝟓∙𝟒∙𝟑∙𝟐∙𝟏
= top 2 noisiest people in the
𝟒∙𝟑∙𝟐∙𝟏
𝟕𝟐𝟎 class!
= = 𝟑𝟎

VI. Application
Group Activity: There will be two groups with different tasks as follows:
Group 1: The group wants to take a selfie together but only by 4 persons at a time.
How many ways can they take the picture together?
