Developing Combinatorial Thinking
Abstract
The article presents remarks concerning the possibility of introducing elements of probability in teaching at the primary stage of education. In our paper we focused on combinatorial thinking. In the course of the study, the pupils were asked to solve a few problems. They included problems related to combinations (two-element and three-element combinations of a four-element set) and permutations (three- and four-element ones).
