Combinatorics · Lesson
The hard part is not calculation: it is recognizing the structure. Always ask three questions: does order matter? may I repeat? do I use all elements?
Prerequisites: Permutations, arrangements and combinations
Goal: Independently decide whether order, repetition and use of all elements lead to permutations, arrangements or combinations.
Change the data, observe how the number of cases changes, and use the lab to understand the counting structure you are using.

ConceptStep separates what is required from what is recommended or useful as reinforcement. Only required prerequisites block your progress.
Relationships: solid line = required · dashed line = recommended · dotted line = reinforcement.
