MATH30B-L059 - Mixed combination problems; nCr vs nPr choice; linear applied
MATH30B is delivery. Official identities remain 30-1, 30-2, 30-3. 90 combined-classroom lessons (~18 weeks × 5). Braiding adjusts the shared calendar; it does not delete strand outcomes. 10-session bootcamp overlays weeks 1-2 only.

Labels (post on the board)
- ALL STRANDS - shared launch only.
- 30-1 REQUIRED - MAT3791 tray; mastery evidence for 30-1 SOs listed below.
- 30-2 REQUIRED - MAT3792 tray; mastery evidence for 30-2 SOs listed below.
- 30-3 REQUIRED - MAT3793 tray; mastery evidence for 30-3 SOs listed below.
- CROSS-STRAND EXPOSURE ≠ mastery - hearing another tray is logged as EXPOSURE, never as an SO tick, never as a silent enrolment change.
ALL STRANDS launch (~10-14 min)
Interpolate a linear cost model (30-3) while 30-1 counts subsets.
Clock ~75 min unless the school uses 60; cut the workshop block first, never the strand exit ticket. Class C parallel workshops are the default when one strand is on exclusive work.
Official outcomes (REQUIRED on home strand)
| Strand | Official ID | Role today |
|---|---|---|
| 30-1 | MATH30-1-TRIGONOM-03-023 | REQUIRED - Determine the number of combinations of n different elements taken r at a time to solve problems |
| 30-2 | MATH30-2-LOGICALR-06-008 | REQUIRED - Solve problems that involve combinations |
| 30-3 | MATH30-3-ALGEBRA-01-008 | REQUIRED - Demonstrate an understanding of linear relations by: • recognizing patterns and trends • graphing • creating tables of values • writing equations • interpolating and extrapolating |
30-1 workshop - 30-1 REQUIRED
Clock: ~22-28 min after launch (cut workshop before cutting the strand exit ticket). Learners on this tray stay on 30-1.
MATH30-1-TRIGONOM-03-023
Official text: Determine the number of combinations of n different elements taken r at a time to solve problems
Worked example (unique to this hour, this strand, this SO): Compute C(13,5). Choose 5 test kits from 13 where order does not matter. Show C(n,r)=P(n,r)/r! and why dividing by r! is required.
| Level | Prompt (inside the home strand) |
|---|---|
| FOUNDATION | List combinations of 3 from 4. |
| CORE | C(n,r) formula. |
| PROFICIENT | Choose nCr vs nPr. |
| ADVANCED | Restriction on a committee. |
Diagram: Timing: after retrieval, before independent practice. Do not open the diagram during the first retrieval prompt. Unordered-subset visual (nCr) distinct from nPr.
Independent practice: a new instance of today’s SO(s) with different numbers than the worked example. Two sentences on reasonableness.
Wrong-answer repair (do not praise):
30-1SO 023: Using nPr when order does not matter. Repair: name the first wrong line, replace it, and re-complete the CORE tray item. Do not praise the wrong line.
30-2 workshop - 30-2 REQUIRED
Clock: ~22-28 min after launch (cut workshop before cutting the strand exit ticket). Learners on this tray stay on 30-2.
MATH30-2-LOGICALR-06-008
Official text: Solve problems that involve combinations
Worked example (unique to this hour, this strand, this SO): Choose 5 people from 13 for a water-test committee (order does not matter). Compute nCr. Write one sentence on why this is not nPr.
| Level | Prompt (inside the home strand) |
|---|---|
| FOUNDATION | List committees of 2 from 4. |
| CORE | nCr in context. |
| PROFICIENT | Choose nCr vs nPr. |
| ADVANCED | Optional harder restriction. |
Diagram: Timing: after retrieval, before independent practice. Do not open the diagram during the first retrieval prompt. Committee diagram: order does not matter.
Independent practice: a new instance of today’s SO(s) with different numbers than the worked example. Two sentences on reasonableness.
Wrong-answer repair (do not praise):
30-2SO 008: Using nPr for an unordered committee. Repair: name the first wrong line, replace it, and re-complete the CORE tray item. Do not praise the wrong line.
30-3 workshop - 30-3 REQUIRED
Clock: ~22-28 min after launch (cut workshop before cutting the strand exit ticket). Learners on this tray stay on 30-3.
MATH30-3-ALGEBRA-01-008
Official text: Demonstrate an understanding of linear relations by: • recognizing patterns and trends • graphing • creating tables of values • writing equations • interpolating and extrapolating • solving problems
Worked example (unique to this hour, this strand, this SO): Table: hours 0, 1, 2, 3 vs litres treated 0, 17, 34, 51. Graph, write litres = (rate)(hours), interpolate at 1.5 h, extrapolate to 5 h with a caution.
| Level | Prompt (inside the home strand) |
|---|---|
| FOUNDATION | Complete a table. |
| CORE | Graph + equation. |
| PROFICIENT | Interpolate. |
| ADVANCED | Extrapolate with caution. |
Diagram: Timing: after retrieval, before independent practice. Do not open the diagram during the first retrieval prompt. VIS-M30B-LINEAR: table, graph, equation together.
Independent practice: a new instance of today’s SO(s) with different numbers than the worked example. Two sentences on reasonableness.
Wrong-answer repair (do not praise):
30-3SO 008: Extrapolating far beyond the table with no caution. Repair: name the first wrong line, replace it, and re-complete the CORE tray item. Do not praise the wrong line.
CROSS-STRAND EXPOSURE ≠ mastery
- CROSS-STRAND EXPOSURE ≠ mastery. Log D items. Do not tick another strand’s SO.
- AI Tutor must not treat an exposure card as proficiency.
Project or clean math
Project (Sustainable Community Water & Hygiene) - genuine math only: 30-2: model users, kits, or committees with today’s relation/counting SO. 30-3: site layout, vehicle if the enterprise needs one, ledger, linear fill-rate, or measurement of volume/chlorine - matching today’s SO.
AI Tutor
- Load the authorized home strand only: MAT3791 (Mathematics 30-1) or MAT3792 (Mathematics 30-2) or MAT3793 (Mathematics 30-3) from the authorized profile.
- Never silent-switch a struggling 30-1 learner into 30-2/30-3 banks (or the reverse) to “make it easier.”
- Serve today’s home-strand SOs. Exposure cards are read-only.
- Never dump diploma keys or released exam wording. Original items only.
- Wrong answers: name the error and repair; do not praise.
Human-tutor handoff
Call a human tutor when: the learner cannot complete CORE after two documented repairs; an identity proof (30-1 006) is stuck after the identity map; a 30-2 017 source is unsafe or empty; a 30-3 vehicle/business number is being faked to match a hoped-for answer; distress, disclosure, or a request to change official enrolment. Enrolment changes are an office/PASI process, not a tutor action.
Diagram / whiteboard
Approved starter math30-quadratic-shift. Strand workshops may add axes/tables. Never praise a translated parabola as a circle.
Strand exit ticket (~8-12 min)
Collect only the home-strand row. Exposure ≠ mastery. Lesson MATH30B-L059.
| Home strand | Primary SO | Exit ticket (unique to this lesson) |
|---|---|---|
| 30-1 | MATH30-1-TRIGONOM-03-023 | CORE exit: Compute C(13,5). Choose 5 test kits from 13 where order does not matter. Show C(n,r)=P(n,r)/r! and why dividing by r! is required. FOUNDATION alternate: List combinations of 3 from 4. Do not submit another strand’s ticket as 30-1 mastery. |
| 30-2 | MATH30-2-LOGICALR-06-008 | CORE exit: Choose 5 people from 13 for a water-test committee (order does not matter). Compute nCr. Write one sentence on why this is not nPr. FOUNDATION alternate: List committees of 2 from 4. Do not submit another strand’s ticket as 30-2 mastery. |
| 30-3 | MATH30-3-ALGEBRA-01-008 | CORE exit: Table: hours 0, 1, 2, 3 vs litres treated 0, 17, 34, 51. Graph, write litres = (rate)(hours), interpolate at 1.5 h, extrapolate to 5 h with a caution. FOUNDATION alternate: Complete a table. Do not submit another strand’s ticket as 30-3 mastery. |
