1 Permutations and Combinations SWBAT find all the permutations and combinations for a set

2 Definitions If you have to create groups you need to know if they are a permutation or a combination In permutations - Order matters. In permutations - Order matters. Multiply the number choice for options1 x option2 x option 3 In combinations - Order does NOT matter. In combinations - Order does NOT matter. Multiply the number choice for options1 x option2 x option 3 Then multiply to find the number of arrangements Divide the two numbers to get your combination

3 Examples Connor, Gilbert, and Ethan want to sit together in the same row to watch Wreck it Ralph. How many different seating arrangements are there? Amani, Daniel, Alex, and Amber have to make two man teams to compete in the math contest. How many different two man teams can be formed? If the same kids are going, but one is the contestant and the second is an alternate, how does that change the number of teams that can be formed?

6 How many permutations? 7. Three of the digits 3, 5, 7, and 9 8. Four of the letters A, B, C, D, and E 9. How many combinations for number 7 10. How many combinations for number 8 11.
