Subject: Math.
Grade: 1st
Teacher: Dayron Seth Magaa Morales.
Plan: Block 4
Date: March 14th to 18th, 2016
Topic: Numeric Sense And Algebraic Thinking Subtopic: Counting problems. Contents: Students will Learn the math expressions to count
possibilities and combinations using the counting principle
Expected Learning: Solves problems with different combinations and gives an algebraic solution.
Experience: (Previous knowledge activation): Ask students how they think they can divide a decimal number using their knowledge of multiplications
Exercise: (Mobilization of cognitive resources): Work on notebook

Explanation:
MONDAY
Counting problems are presented along with their detailed solutions.
Let us start by introducing the counting principle using an example. A student has to take one course of physics, one of science and one of mathematics.
He may choose one of 3 physics courses (P1, P2, P3), one of 2 science courses (S1, S2) and one of 2 mathematics courses (M1, M2). In how many
ways can this student select the 3 courses he has to take?
Let us use a tree diagram that shows all possible choices. The first column on the left shows the 3 possible choices of the
physics course: P1, P2 or P3. Then the second column shows the 2 possible choices of the science course and the last
column shows the 2 possible choices for the mathematics course. The different ways in which the 3 courses may be
selected are:
(P1 S1 M1), (P1 S1 M2), (P1 S2 M1), (P1 S2 M2)
(P2 S1 M1), (P2 S1 M2), (P2 S2 M1), (P2 S2 M2)
(P3 S1 M1), (P3 S1 M2), (P3 S2 M1), (P3 S2 M2)
tree diagram for all possible choices of the three courses:

The total number of choices may be calculated as follows:

Let n1 be the number of choices of the physics course, here n1 = 3. Let n2 be the number of choices of the science course, here n2 = 2. Let n3 be the
number of choices of the mathematics course, here n3 = 2. It is clear from the tree diagram above that the total number N of choices may be calculated
as follows:
N = n1*n2*n3
= 3*2*2 = 12
WEDNESDAY
Students will answer the following problems:
Problem 1: To buy a computer system, a customer can choose one of 4 monitors, one of 2 keyboards, one of 4 computers and one of 3 printers.
Determine the number of possible systems that a customer can choose from.
A customer can choose one monitor, one keyboard, one computer and one printer. The diagram below shows each item with the number of choices
the customer has.

Using the counting principle used in the introduction above, the number of all possible computer systems that can be bought is given by
N = 4 * 2 * 4 * 3 = 96
Problem 2: In a certain country telephone numbers have 9 digits. The first two digits are the area code (03) and are the same within a given area.
The last 7 digits are the local number and cannot begin with 0. How many different telephone numbers are possible within a given area code in this
country?

Solution to Problem 2:
The diagram below shows the number of choices for each digit. The first digit of the area code is 0, no choice which is in fact one choice only. The
second digit of the area code is 1, no choice or one choice only. The first digit of the local code can be any digit except 0, so 9 choices. The 2nd, 3rd,
4th, 5th, 6th and 7 th digits of the local code can be any digit, hence 10 choices each.

Using the counting principle, the total number of possible telephone numbers is given by
N = 1 * 1 * 9 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 = 9,000,000
Problem 3: A student can select one of 6 different mathematics books, one of 3 different chemistry books and one of 4 different science books. In how many
different ways can a student select a book of mathematics, a book of chemistry and a book of science?
Solution to Problem 3:
The total number N of different ways that the students can select his 3 books is given by
N = 6 * 3 * 4 = 72

TUESDAY
Students will answer the next problems (more difficult)
Problem 4: There are 3 different roads from city A to city B and 2 different roads from city B to city C. In how many ways can someone go from city A
to city C passing by city B?
Solution to Problem 4:
The total number N of different ways that someone can go from city A to city C, passing by city B is
N=3*2=6
Problem 5: A man has 3 different suits, 4 different shirts and 5 different pairs of shoes. In how many different ways can this man wear a suit, a shirt
and a pair of shoes?
Solution to Problem 5:
The total number N of different ways that this man can wear one of his suits, one of his shirts and a pair of his shoes is
N = 3 * 4 * 5 = 60
Problem 6: In a certain country, licence plate numbers have 3 letters folllowed by 4 digits. How many different licence plate numbers can be formed?
(letters and digits may be repeated).
Solution to Problem 7:
26 (all letters in the alphabet) choices are possible for each of the 3 letters to be used to form the licence number. 10 choices (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) are
possible for each of the 4 digits. The total number of licence numbers is given by
N = 26 * 26 * 26 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 = 175,760,000
