Abstract Let p be a prime and let x be a p-adic integer. We prove two supercongruences for truncated series of the form $$\begin{align*}\sum_{k=1}^{p-1} \frac{(x)_k}{(1)_k}\cdot \frac{1}{k}\sum_{1\le j_1\le\cdots\le j_r\le k}\frac{1}{j_1^{}\cdots j_r^{}}\quad\mbox{and}\quad \sum_{k=1}^{p-1} \frac{(x)_k(1-x)_k}{(1)_k^2}\cdot \frac{1}{k}\sum_{1\le j_1\le\cdots\le j_r\le k}\frac{1}{j_1^{2}\cdots j_r^{2}}\end{align*}$$ which generalise previous results. We also establish q-analogues of two binomial identities.

This paper focuses on two binomial identities. The proofs illustrate the power and elegance in enumerative/algebraic combinatorial arguments, modern machine-assisted techniques of Wilf-Zeilberger and the classical tools of generatingfunctionology.

Combinatorial proof serves both as an important topic in combinatorics and as a type of proof with certain properties and constraints. We report on a teaching experiment in which undergraduate students (who were novice provers) engaged in combinatorial reasoning as they proved binomial identities. We highlight ways of understanding that were important for their success with establishing combinatorial arguments; in particular, the students demonstrated referential symbolic reasoning within an enumerative representation system, and as the students engaged in successful combinatorial proof, they had to coordinate reasoning within algebraic and enumerative representation systems. We illuminate features of the students’ work that potentially contributed to their successes and highlight potential issues that students may face when working with binomial identities.
