Abstract (type = summary)
This is the fifth of seven clips from the night session. The students (Ankur, Jeff, Michael, and Romina) have been discussing Pascal’s Triangle. The researcher rewrites row 3 of Pascal’s Triangle in what the students call “choose” notation (1 3 3 1 becomes “3 choose 0, “3 choose 1,” “3 choose 2,” and “3 choose 3”). The researcher then asks the students to write more rows of Pascal’s Triangle in this notation, including a general row (row n). As the students work on this task, they describe connections between Pascal’s Triangle and the binomial expansion and between the n-th row of Pascal’s Triangle and the answer to the n-tall towers problem.
Notes:
The n-tall towers problem is: How many towers n cubes tall is it possible to make when there are two colors of cubes to choose from?
“Choose” notation is the notation for counting the number of combinations; “n choose r” gives the number of ways of selecting subsets containing r objects from a set containing n objects. When counting combinations, the order of selection is irrelevant. “n choose r” is equal to n!/[(n – r)!r!].
