Peer reviewedVan de Walle, John; Thompson, Charles S. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
Described are activities for thinking through patterns using toothpicks, paper strips, wooden cubes, and people patterns; thinking with attribute items such as geocards, namestrips, and treasures; and thinking with geometric materials such as geoboards and dot paper, cubes, and simple puzzle pieces.

Peer reviewedBerlin, Donna; White, Arthur – School Science and Mathematics, 1986
This study investigated the effects of combining interactive microcomputer simulations and concrete activities on the development of abstract thinking in elementary school mathematics. Students in grades 2-4 were assessed on tasks involving designs and patterns. (MNS)

Peer reviewedBidwell, James K. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1987
Provided are follow-up activities for having students explore the concept of line symmetry. Using a mirror to move a pattern; finding patterns with one, two, or four lines of symmetry; finding asymmetrical patterns; deciding if patterns are different; and solving the problem of finding all patterns possible are discussed. (MNS)

Peer reviewedThompson, Alba G. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
The problem-solving strategy "look for a pattern" is explored. The staircase problem and the region problem are discussed in detail, with varying solution procedures, and three other problem activities are outlined. (MNS)

Gronert, Joie; Marshall, Sally – 1979
Activities and games which use dominoes to reinforce basic arithmetic skills are presented. Instructions and materials are provided for the activities and games, most of which involve addition and subtraction. Other skill areas which are covered include recognition and matching of domino patterns, multiplication, and division. A seven-item list of…

Hill, Jane, M., Ed. – 1987
The articles in this collection of readings come principally from the last ten years of the "Arithmetic Teacher." The emphasis is on teaching mathematics in grades K-6, although some articles may include teaching ideas and activities for grades seven and eight. Articles on measurement geometry are not included; the focus is on the development of…
