Elizabeth Suazo-Flores; Lisa Roetker – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2024
The Building Painted Cubes Task is a groupworthy algebraic task. Students build cubes using linking unit cubes, search for algebraic patterns, and report findings on posters. This task can create spaces for students to see themselves as doers of mathematics.

Holton, Derek; Symons, Duncan – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2022
Derek Holton and Duncan Symons present the first in a series of three papers that address sequences and their patterns. Their explorations lead to classroom teaching suggestions that involve creative thinking.

Huang, WenYen – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2022
The study of mathematics is often described as the science of patterns (Resnik 1981), and the cognitive tasks involving the search, recognition, and assessment of patterns are fundamental to learning mathematics. Patterning activities lead students to a better understanding of dependent relations among representations, create a transparent way for…

Wares, Arsalan; Custer, David – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2023
Generalizing, conjecturing, representing, justifying, and refuting are integral parts of algebraic thinking and mathematical thinking in general (Lannin et al., 2011). The activity described in this article makes a case for generalizing as an overall mindset for any introductory algebra or geometry class by illustrating how generalization problems…

Zwanch, Karen; Broome, Bridget – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2023
Generalizing patterns is an important feature of algebraic reasoning that is accessible to students across grade-levels because it connects their numerical reasoning to algebraic reasoning. In this article, the authors describe how teachers can use the game Crack the Code to introduce generalizing to their students or can extend students'…

Tsamir, Pessia; Tirosh, Dina; Levenson, Esther S.; Barkai, Ruthi; Tabach, Michal – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2017
This paper describes kindergarten children's engagement with two patterning activities. The first activity includes two tasks in which children are asked to choose possible ways for extending two different repeating patterns and the second activity calls for comparing different pairs of repeating patterns. Children's recognition of the unit of…

Samson, Duncan – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 2012
Pattern generalisation has become an important feature of mathematics classrooms around the globe. Sometimes these activities focus purely on given numerical terms, but the use of pictorial or figural patterns is now becoming part of the standard repertoire for such generalisation exercises. From a pedagogic point of view, the investigation of…
