Permutations And Combinations Fundamental principle of counting Activity1

=Activity - Flipping a coin and a dice=


 * 1) Estimated Time :30 min


 * 1) Materials/ Resources needed :coin,dice,paper,pencil


 * 1) Prerequisites/Instructions :Tell the students to note down all the possible outcomes when they flip the coin and the dice

Process (How to do the activity)

 * 1) Every student must have a coin,dice,paper and pencil with him
 * 2) Tell the students to flip the coin and record the possible outcomes
 * 3) Now ask the students to flip the dice and record all the possible outcomes
 * 4) After noting down the possible outcomes in separate events now tell the students to flip both the coin and dice at a time and record the all possible outcomes

Developmental Questions (What discussion questions)

 * 1) How many outcomes you got when you flip a coin and what are those?
 * 2) How many outcomes you got when you flip a dice and what are those?
 * 3) Now can you tell me the two different events occurred here?
 * 4) Can we flip both the coin and dice in a single event?
 * 5) How many outcomes did you get when you flipped both coin and dice at a time?

Evaluation (Questions for assessment of the child)

 * 1) How many possible outcome you get when you flip a coin and a dice?
 * 2) Draw the tree diagram for the total outcomes.

Question Corner

 * 1) If one event can be done in 5 ways another in 4 ways then in how many different ways both events can be done
 * 2) If three different events occur in 'm','n'and 'p' ways respectively then in how many ways can they be occur combindly
