Elementary Patterning Problems: Visual and Numerical Structuring
Frazee, Leah M.; Scharfenberger, Adam R.
North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (43rd, Philadelphia, PA, Oct 14-17, 2021)
Research on elementary students' reasoning on patterning problems with pictorial representations has illustrated that students can visualize structure in patterns in different ways. In this paper, we offer a characterization of students' spatial structures and numerical structures and explain how the link between these two structures can support students' generalization of a pattern or prediction of a future value.
