Lesson: Permutation Mathematics

Start Practising

In this lesson, we will learn how to use permutation properties to solve problems and use permutation to count possible outcomes.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

understand what is meant by a permutation and recognize the associated notation,
recall that ,
evaluate simple expressions involving permutations,
use permutations to solve counting problems (e.g., How many ways can 5 people sit on 7 chairs?),
solve problems related to circular arrangements where rotations are considered equivalent (recognizing that there are ways of arranging objects in a circle),
find the value of an unknown in an equation involving permutations, for example, or .
