Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
Group work and Project-Based Learning Learning Experience: Learners in groups conduct research on areas where permutation and combination can be applied. Activity 1 Application of Permutations and Combinations Learners in groups investigate the application of permutation and combination in business, commerce, industry, factory and games and present the findings from the research in class. Example: Arranging digits in passwords, alphabets in concatenation and colour schemes in clothing in factories are examples of permutations. The selection of menu, food, clothes, subjects and footballers for a match are examples of combinations. Other applications include communication networks, cryptography and network security, computer architecture, electrical engineering, computational molecular biology, languages, both natural and computer and pattern analysis.
