Teaching Outlines

Concept # 1 Fundamental Principle of Counting

Learning objectives

1. Students should be able to determine the number of outcomes in a problem
2. Students should be able to apply the Fundamental principle of counting to find out the total number of outcomes in problem
3. Students should be able to draw the tree diagram for the outcomes

Notes for teachers

These are short notes that the teacher wants to share about the concept, any locally relevant information, specific instructions on what kind of methodology used and common misconceptions/mistakes.

Concept # 2 Factorial Notation

Learning objectives

1. Students should be able to use the factorial notation
2. Students should be able to tell that n! is the product of first 'n' natural numbers
3. Students should be able to know that if 'n' is a negative number or a decimal, n! is not defined
4. Students should be able to know the value of 0!

Concept # 3 Permutations

Learning objectives

• State that permutation is an arrangement and write the meaning of ${^{n}}P_{r}$

• State that ${^{n}}P_{r}$=${\frac {n!}{(n-r)!}}$ and apply this to solve problems

• Show that

1. ${(n+1)^{n}}P_{n}$=${^{n+1}}P_{n}$

1. ${^{n}}P_{r+1}$=${(n-r)^{n}}P_{r}$

Concept # 4 Combinations

Learning objectives

• State that a combination is a selection and write the meaning of ${^{n}}C_{r}$

• Distinguish between permutations and combinations

• Derive ${^{n}}C_{r}$=${\frac {n!}{(n-r)!r!}}$

and apply the result to solve problems

• Derive the relation ${^{n}}P_{r}$=${^{n}}C_{r}Xr!$

• Verify that ${^{n}}C_{n}$=${^{n}}C_{n-r}$ and give its interpretation

• Derive ${^{n}}C_{r}+^{n}C_{n-r}$=${^{n+1}}C_{r}$ and apply the result to solve problems.
