Permutations Teacher Resources

In this counting method, learners solve simple and compound probability problems.  They determine the number of permutations and combinations that can be made under given circumstances.  This two-page worksheet contains 23...

A comprehensive lesson that explores and researches Pascal's triangle and relates its properties to the Binomial Theorem through a variety of lessons. Have the class practice expanding polynomials using the theorem. A few other formulas...

The most valuable part of this video isn't math-related (even though the math strategies are quite helpful); it's the way Sal replaces part of a problem that confuses him with easy-to-manipulate variable letters. Students who get hung up...

On the home stretch of this practice session, Sal completes problems 18 and 19 on page 738 of The Official SAT Study Guide. He begins problem 20, but chooses to finish it in the next video instead of rushing the answer. As always, Sal's...

Have a blast with Sal as he solves these SAT practice questions! He enjoys himself with visualization and combination problems, showing not only how to solve the problems but to see math as a riddle rather than a threat.

Questions 5-8 on the practice SAT, which range from algebraic equations to geometry problems, are easy to understand after Sal works his math magic. Students who have a hard time transitioning between skills would benefit from a viewing...

Spending more than half of the video readdressing the nuances in problem 13 (previously discussed in the last video), Sal ensures that students understand the tricky word problem by going through each of the multiple choice answers....

Sal again makes the SAT look effortless, and yet students will follow his mathematical processes with ease. Problems range in difficulty, from basic algebra equations to more complicated geometric figures.

In this permutations learning exercise, 6th graders solve and complete 5 different types of problems. First, they write a simple conceptual art plan with no more than 3 instructions. Then, students use graph paper and a pencil to draw a...

Students explore the various rhythmic combinations in jazz and blues music. They watch a video segment, apply a mathematical formula to calculate the number of possible rhythmic combinations, and perform a combination of notes and...

Determine if any reteaching with a mid-module assessment task. The assessment covers the general multiplication rule, permutations and combinations, and probability distributions for discrete random variables.

Middle schoolers calculate the possible number of permutations for different sets of objects. They explore and solve possible permutations for various real-world situations.

In this Probability activity, students solve problems involving permutations and combinations.  The one page activity contains 10 questions.  Answers are not included.

Students create a group wall drawing that demonstrate the contributions that each part makes to the whole.

Discover how combinations are different from permutations. In the third installment of a 21-part module, scholars learn how to determine combinations of objects. They learn to distinguish between situations where order is important and...

In this probability learning exercise, students use permutation and combination to calculate the number of outcomes. They differentiate between the two. There are 2 questions with an answer key.

Students investigate the pros and cons of the lottery. In this algebra lesson, students use the formulas for permutation and combination to test their arguments about the lottery. They collect data about their argument and plot it on a...

Learners explore the meaning of groups formed through permutations and combinations with an activity that asks individuals to determine the total number of pupils needed to guarantee that at least one pair has the same initials....

Students define Pascal's triangle and special notations used to represent nth elements. In this geometry lesson, students solve problems using permutations and combinations. They compare the formula for permutation to that of Pascal's...

Fifth graders investigate the concepts of combinations and permutations using probability. They practice calculations using probability to measure the outcomes. Students demonstrate how to organize and categorize the data.

In this permutations and combinations worksheet, middle schoolers solve 13 word problems. Each problem presents a common situation and asks students to tell the number of possible combinations.

Students calculate the probability of an event occurring. In this statistics lesson, students calculate the outcome using combination and permutation. They differentiate between-theoretical and experimental probability.

Students calculate the chance of an event occurring. For this statistics lesson, students use combination and permutation to calculate the probability of an event occurring. They differentiate between theoretical and experimental...

Learners observe that there are myriad combinations of rhythms to choose from when improvising jazz and blues music, and recognize that while the variations seem infinite, they are in fact finite. They notate a 12 bar blues progression...
