This document discusses the fundamental counting principle (FCP) and provides examples of how to use it to solve problems. It begins by listing the 9 possible outcomes of a game of rock-paper-scissors. Two word problems are then presented that involve counting the number of possible outfits and 4-digit codes given constraints. The FCP is defined as stating that if one event can occur in m ways and a second in n ways, their combination is m*n. Several practice problems are worked out applying the FCP before students are evaluated on 5 multiple choice questions involving counting problems. Homework involves preparing another problem using the FCP.
