An innovative approach to learning combinatorics for primary school students

Neki od osnovnih principa kombinatorike su produktno pravilo, varijacije, kombinacije i permutacije. Kombinatoričke metode imaju važnu ulogu u računarstvu. Neke od važnijih primjena su permutacijska mreža u AES algoritmu, ali i općenite primjene u kriptografiji koja je ključ računalne sigurnosti, optimizacija algoritama, teorija grafova i algoritmi umjetne inteligencije. Potrebno je mladima što ranije ukazati na važnost kombinatorike u računarstvu i pokazati im osnovne principe jer već u osnovnoj školi kreću s učenjem računarstva i programiranja. Zato sam napravio mobilnu aplikaciju koja na interaktivan i ilustrativan način djecu uči osnovnim principima kombinatorike. Aplikacija je izrađena koristeći radni okvir React Native.Some of the basic principles of combinatorics are product rule, variation, combination and permutation. Combinatorial methods play an important role in computing. Some of the more important applications are permutation net in AES algorithm, but also general applications in cryptography which is the key to computer security, algorithm optimization , graph theory and artificial intelligence algorithms. It is necessary to point out the importance of combinatorics in computing to young people as early as possible and show them the basic principles, because they start learning computing and programming already in primary school. That is why I created a mobile application that teaches children the basic principles of combinatorics in an interactive and illustrative way. The application was created using the React Native framework
