Combinatorics' A journey to elementary mathematics education

Abstract

Combinatorics is a part of discrete mathematics. It is a part of modern mathematics that seem to penetrate into the mathematics subject taught in school. Combinatorics forms an inseparable part of the modernization of elementary mathematics education. In the paper we investigate the options of structural integration of combinatorics into math education at the elementary school level and the combinatorics-pupil and combinatorics- math teacher relationships.
