About this app

Combinations nCr is an interactive mathematics lesson for understanding combinations through visual exploration. Adjust the total number of items n and the number selected r to see every selection, remove ordering by dividing permutations by r!, and compare choosing items with leaving items behind through the identity nCr = nC(nβˆ’r). Guided missions reinforce key ideas such as boundary values, peak counts, and symmetry.

Use cases

  • High school students learning combinations and counting principles
  • Teachers demonstrating nCr and permutation relationships
  • Learners reviewing probability and statistics concepts
  • Students exploring the symmetry between selected and unselected items

Features

  • Interactive controls for changing n and r
  • Visual display of all possible selections
  • Explanation of dividing permutations by r! to remove order
  • Symmetry exploration of nCr = nC(nβˆ’r)
  • Four guided missions in each of three learning sections
  • Reset and next controls with explanatory feedback
