DescriptionIn the second clip in a series of ten from the fifth of seven interviews, 8th grader Stephanie continues her exploration of Early Algebraic Ideas about Binomial Expansion. She is revisiting the Unifix-cube towers problem as a specific physical model for selecting a given number of objects from a set. Researcher Carolyn Maher asks Stephanie to consider towers 4-cubes tall when selecting from two colors (red and yellow), and to use combinatorics notation to record her solutions for different cases. Having determined the number of towers with no yellow cubes and with exactly one yellow cube in Clip One of this series, Stephanie next finds the number of unifix cube towers, 4-cubes tall, selecting from red and yellow cubes, with exactly two yellow cubes and justifies her solution by constructing an organized drawing of the towers.
The problems as presented to Stephanie:
How many unifix towers can you build, selecting from two colors, with exactly two cubes of each color?
How many ways can you select two objects from a group of 4?
