Remembering Pascal's triangle

Is there any way quick way of remembering the Pascal's triangle for the binomial expansion, any tips/tricks?

I don't know of any particular "trick" but I do remember everything up to and including 1,5,10,10,5,1 only, which isn't that much stuff to remember.

Anything beyond that line I just work out on paper. It's rather simple.

I just draw it out if I need it. Or use the function on the calculator that lets you find the number you need.

you don't have to remember too many so just learn it straight off

To be honest in the exam it is best to just draw it out. It is easy to remember as you just add the 2 numbers above to give the number below. And tbh as you practise you will remember certain things such as for 6 terms it is 1 5 10 10 5 1
