Vocabulary
- Tree diagram
- Recursive pattern
- Explicit formula
Knowledge
Students know:
- Tree diagrams can be used to systematically list all possibilities for a given set of constraints.
Skills
Students are able to:
- List all possible outcomes for a given set of constraints
Understanding
Students understand that:
- Tree diagrams and other systematic methods can be used to count objects but may not be the most efficient method when counting large quantities.
- Recursive and explicit formulas can be developed from examining patterns in tree diagrams and systematic lists.
Body
- Use multiple representations and methods for counting objects and developing more efficient counting techniques. Note: Representations and methods may include tree diagrams, lists, manipulatives, overcounting methods, recursive patterns, and explicit formulas.
