Core Lesson
There are five players lining up to go on the baseball field. How many possible
line combinations are there?
In this lesson you have learned how to find the total number of possible combinations by using
the Fundamental Counting Principle.
Guided Practice
Logan needs to spin an 8 sectioned spinner and roll a die to win a free baseball cap. How many possible combinations are there in this situation?
Extension Activities
Have students come up with their own example of a situation that involves combinations and use the Fundamental Counting Principle to figure out how many different combinations there are. Then have the students make a table or list that confirms their answer.
Extension Activities
Do a consensus placemat in which four students take a corner of a large piece of chart paper and they must write their own explanations of the Fundamental Counting Principle. Then the group of four must come to a consensus and place their group definition in the center of the placemat.
