This math topic focuses on calculating the number of distinct ways to order a set of letter tiles, specifically when some letters are repeated. Participants practice using factorial concepts and permutations to solve problems. They learn to represent their solutions in the form of multiplication expressions, often involving fractions where the numerator and denominator are products of factorials or numbers, representing different arrangements and repetitions. This topic is a part of a broader unit on probability and statistics emphasizing factorial practice.
