Permutations Teacher Resources

Upper level math doesn't have to be unapproachable. An instructional video uses virtual manipulatives to demonstrate the meaning of a permutation, a combination, and factorial.    

The author of this video makes use of digital tools to show substitution into the permutation and combination formula. The differences between the meaning of permutations and combinations is also discussed.

A good review worksheet on simplifying rational expressions, solving equations with factorials, solving problems on permutations and combinations, and using the Binomial Theorem.  

For this math worksheet, middle schoolers read about the concept of permutations. They arrange the objects in a certain order and think of the possible combinations.
