| Learning Outcome(s) | 3.4.2.LO.1 - Solve problems involving conditional Com probability using permutations and par combinations. tol app ide 3.4.2.LO.2 - Use the concepts of permutation GESI: and combination to solve real life teach problems. equal | ||
| Content Standard | 3.4.2.CS.1 | ||
| Learning Indicator(s) | 3.4.2.LI.5 - problems involving permutation and combination. | ||
| Lesson Focus | problems involving permutation and combination. | ||
| Previous Knowledge | Learners recall related ideas, vocabulary or experiences from earlier lessons and everyday contexts. | ||
| Lesson Objective(s) | Describe the key idea in: problems involving permutation and combination. Apply the idea through guided and independent learning activities. Demonstrate understanding through oral responses, written work or practical performance. | ||
| Essential Question(s) | What prior mathematical ideas are needed for problems involving permutation and combination? How can problems involving permutation and combination be represented, explained and checked? When is the method used in problems involving permutation and combination useful, and why? | ||
| Pedagogical Strategies | Diagnostic questioning Worked-example modelling Worked-example fading Think-pair-share Guided problem solving Error analysis | ||
| Teaching & Learning Resources | Whiteboard and markers Exercise books Pens/pencils | ||
| Key Notes on Differentiation | |||
| Content | Use a scaffolded version of the core problems involving permutation and combination task with intermediate prompts where support is needed. Use an extension requiring generalisation, proof, a less familiar representation or application of problems involving permutation and combination for learners ready to advance. | ||
| Process | Use worked-example fading: complete example → partially completed example → independent problem. Pair learners for mathematical explanation; the listener must restate the reasoning before agreeing or correcting. | ||
| Product | Require a complete solution with correct notation, justified steps and a check of the result. For extension work, require comparison of two methods or a statement of when the method applies. | ||
| Success Criteria | Learners use correct subject vocabulary. Learners complete the main task with reasonable accuracy. Learners explain or demonstrate how the concept applies in a new situation. | ||
| Homework | Complete mixed practice questions with full working and one short explanation of method. | ||
| Lesson Activities | |||
| Stage | Teacher Activity | Learner Activity | Assessment / DoK |
| Starter10 minutes | Write a short problem on making predictions with data and ask learners to suggest the first step before solving. | Share prior knowledge, listen to peers and record the lesson question in their notebooks. | Not provided. |
| Activity 115 minutes | Model one worked example on making predictions with data, explaining the rule, notation and reason for each step. | Follow the worked example, ask questions and record the method clearly. | Ask learners to name the rule used and explain why it applies. |
| Activity 220 minutes | Guide pairs to solve two graded questions on making predictions with data and compare their methods. | Solve the paired questions, compare answers and correct errors with reasons. | Check working steps, notation, accuracy and correction of errors. |
| Activity 310 minutes | Give an unfamiliar problem on making predictions with data for independent solution and justification. | Solve independently and write a short justification for the method used. | Mark the independent task for correct method, final answer and explanation. |
| Lesson Closure | Summarise making predictions with data and correct one common misconception using learner examples. State one thing learned and complete the exit response. | ||
