Title: Combinatorial Representations: A closer look at portraying some outcomes and some operations

Abstract: In this talk, we will explore representations in the context of combinatorics. While sets of outcomes,
processes, and formulas are an integral part of combinatorics (c.f., Lockwood), how we represent them can be
just as important. This talk will focus on some ideas around representing outcomes - specifically for combination
problems (C(n,k)); as well as how we portray numerical operations in formulas in relation to an associated set of
outcomes - specifically how we depict the operation of division (and multiplication) as operating on a collection
of outcomes. We will discuss findings from a few studies, as well as some of the implications they might have for
teaching and learning about combinatorics, and for new hypotheses and lines of inquiry in educational research.
