Lesson Plan: Fundamental Counting Principle Mathematics
This lesson plan includes the objectives, prerequisites, and exclusions of the lesson teaching students how to find the number of all possible outcomes in a sample space using the fundamental counting principle.
Objectives
Students will be able to
- find the number of all possible outcomes in a sample space,
- apply the fundamental counting principle to real-life situations,
- use a tree diagram to determine the number of possible outcomes.
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with
- sample spaces.
Exclusions
Students will not cover
- finding a probability,
- counting with restriction (conditional counting).
