Abstract:
In this paper, we discuss the combinatorial ways of thinking and what teachers should do to help students engage in combinatorial thinking. Particular attention is given to the interplay between the students’ generalizing activities and engagement in the emergent ways of thinking. We address the practical goals of identifying ways that students productively reason in combinatorics, and we provide a theoretical commentary on students’ reflection on activity as it occurs in the context of particular generalizing actions.
Keywords:
