I. Objectives:
At the end of a 60-minutes discussion the students are expected to:
1. illustrate permutation of objects,
2. solve problems involving permutations, and
3. apply the concepts of permutation in real life situations.

II. Subject Matter:

A. Preliminary Activities
Gilbert, please lead the prayer.

Good afternoon, class! Good afternoon, sir!

You may take your seats. Thank you, sir.

B. Motivation
At this point, see the problem and try to
solve.

C. Presentation of the Lesson

How do you find our activity? Exciting and enjoyable.

Those possible arrangements are what

we called permutation.

Now let us first focus on this

5(4)(3)(2)(1) = 120

Another way how to express what we

did is to use this exclamation point
symbol “!”, which in mathematics
called factorial.
! (FACTORIAL)

So, in this case

5! = 120

D. Development of the Lesson

Factorial is the product of all positive

integers less than or equal to a given
positive integer and denoted by that
integer and an exclamation point.

6! = 6(5)(4)(3)(2)(1) = 720
 4! = 4(3)(2)(1) = 24

Special case
0! = 1 and 1! =1

Let us try to work with factorials

(20-17)! (20-17)! = 3! = 6

10!
10! 10 (9)(8!)
8! = = 10 (9) =90
8! 8!

Permutation refers to the different

possible arrangements of a set of
objects.

Different ways on how can we illustrate

Permutation
 Fundamental Counting Principle
 Systematic Listing Method
 Tree Diagram

Fundamental Counting Principle states that

if there are n ways of doing something, and
m ways of doing another thing, then there
are m(n) different ways to do both.

Example:
In how many ways can we arrange A, B, C, and
D in a row.

Solution:
4! = 4(3)(2)(1) = 24

In how many ways can Jomary, Jay Cris,

Jerold, Ackmed, and Devin be arranged in a
row by photographer for picture taking?
5! = 5(4)(3)(2)(1) = 120

Systematic Listing Method is a method used

to determine the number of permutations
made for each problem. The advantage of
this method is you can see all the possible
arrangements of an object, but the downside
of this method is it consumes time for bigger
number of objects.
Example:
List the possible arrangements of A,B, and C
when arrange in a row.

ABC
ACB
BAC
BCA
CAB
CBA
There are 6 possible arrangements for A,B and
C when arrange in a row.

Tree Diagram is a simple way to illustrate

the possible outcomes of an event.
Example:
In how many ways can 3 True or False
question be answered?

TRUE TTT
TRUE
FALSE TTF
TRUE
TRUE TFT
FALSE
FALSE TFF

TRUE FTT
TRUE
FALSE FTF
FALSE
TRUE FFT
FALSE
FALSE FFF
 We also calculate the different
permutations by applying the formula.

𝑛!
𝑃(𝑛, 𝑟) = (𝑛−𝑟)!
taken r at a time

𝑃(𝑛, 𝑛) = 𝑛! taken all at a time

Example:
a. Ten runners join the race, in how many
possible ways can they be arranging as
first, second, and third place?

Who wants to solve?

Yes, Gilbert. Using the formula

𝑛!
𝑃(𝑛, 𝑟) =
(𝑛 − 𝑟 )!
10!
𝑃(10, 3) =
(10 − 3)!
10!
𝑃(10, 3) =
7!
10(9)(8)(7!)
𝑃(10, 3) =
7!
𝑃(10, 3) = 10 (9)(8)
𝑃(10, 3) = 720 ways
E. Application
I am going to group you into two
groups and each group will be given a
problem. Use any method in solving.

Group 1
Given the four letter word READ, in 𝑃(4, 4) = 4!
how many ways can we arrange its = 24
letter, 4 at a time.

5!
𝑃(5, 3) =
Group 2 (5 − 3)!
In a school club, there are 5 possible 5!
𝑃(10, 3) =
choices for the president, vice president, 2!
and secretary. In how many ways can 5(4)(3)(2!)
𝑃(10, 3) =
the three officers be detected. 2!
𝑃(10, 3) = 5 (4)(3)
𝑃(10, 3) = 60 ways
F. Valuing
Anyone in the class?
Permutations can help us to think of possible
What is the help of permutations in our combinations where each arrangement is very
daily life situations important for example the password of our
cellphone when we forget to remember it.

G. Generalization

How do you find our lesson for today? Easy

Who can give me the summary of our There are three different ways on how
lesson? can we illustrate Permutation
 Fundamental Counting
Principle
 Systematic Listing Method
 Tree Diagram

We calculate the different permutations by

Another? applying the formula.

𝑛!
𝑃(𝑛, 𝑟) = (𝑛−𝑟)!
taken r at a time

𝑃(𝑛, 𝑛) = 𝑛! taken all at a time

IV. Evaluation
Answer on a ½ crosswise and show your solution.
1. P(4,2)
2. P(7,7)
3. P(10,2)
4. In how many ways can we arrange 10 people in a row?
5. Jonah forgets his 3-digit password in his padlock and only remembers that the digits
must be 4, 5, and 7. List the entire possible password that Jonah must try.
