This paper provides a longitudinal analysis of the understanding of repetition patterns by 24 Spanish children ages 3, 4 and 5, through representation and the type of justification. A mixed quantitative and qualitative study is conducted to establish bridges between algebraic thinking and computational thinking by teaching repetition patterns in…

Jiayi Weng; Huihua He; Yu Xue; Miaomiao Guo; Chunxia Wu – Early Education and Development, 2024
"Research Findings:" Pattern creation (PC) is creating a pattern unit based on children's own understanding of the concept of pattern, without being provided with a pattern unit as a reference, and the repetition of this pattern unit to create a complete structure. This study explored the performance and predictors of pattern creation…

Kevin Larkin; Ilyse Resnick; Thomas Lowrie – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2024
Patterns are a fundamental component of mathematics, and the patterning ability of young children has been well researched; however, this research has largely been conducted with relatively small cohorts (±70) and in an interventionist way (in laboratory settings or with researchers directly intervening in educational contexts). The current study…

Sen, Ceylan; Guler, Gürsel – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
In this study, it was aimed to investigate 4-to-6-year-old children's reasoning skills appearing in pattern tasks. 55 children studying in the classes of four different pre-school classes participated in the study. A classroom teaching experiment was conducted to examine the development of children's reasoning skills in pattern tasks. Both…

This study compared parenting across four non-Western cultures to test cross-cultural commonality and specificity principles in three aspects: measurement properties, parenting normativeness, and their associations with child outcomes. Both mothers and fathers (N = 1509 dyads) with preschool-aged children (M = 5.00 years; 48% girls) from urban…

Wijns, Nore; Purpura, David; Torbeyns, Joke – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2023
This study evaluates the effectiveness of a dialogic reading picture book intervention on preschoolers' repeating patterning ability. Ninety-four children age 4 years 1 month to 6 years 8 months (M[subscript age] = 5 years 0 months) were randomly assigned to intervention (n = 46) or active control (n = 48) conditions. Well-trained university and…

Lüken, Miriam M.; Sauzet, Odile – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2021
Despite increasing data on young children's patterning skills and evidence of a link between early pattern knowledge and later mathematics performance, little is known about the strategies children use to solve patterning tasks. This mixed-methods study examined 3- to 5-year-old children's informal strategies when solving eight patterning tasks…

Gripton, Catherine – European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, 2023
Research shows that attention to pattern and structure is fundamental to mathematical learning and attainment yet early mathematics curricula in England underplay the importance of patterning. In a critical realist notion of powerful knowledge, pattern teaching has the potential to empower children to notice patterns, mathematise their everyday…

Diago, Pascual D.; Yáñez, Dionisio F.; Arnau, David – Journal for the Study of Education and Development, 2022
Patterning, as a component of early mathematic knowledge, is a common activity carried out at elementary levels in which children are not equally successful. This study aimed to measure different variables affecting performance on patterning tasks in early childhood. For this purpose, the success of Pre-K (N = 33), K (N = 31) and first-grade…

Bojorque, Gina; Gonzales, Neli; Wijns, Nore; Verschaffel, Lieven; Torbeyns, Joke – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2021
Young children's early repeating patterning abilities are important foundations for their later mathematical development. Prior studies on young children's repeating patterning abilities have been conducted exclusively in developed countries differing in economic, societal, and educational characteristics from developing countries. In this study,…

Giftedness in numeracy skills in young children is a phenomenon that is not always visible and easily identifiable. However, these numeracy skills should be recognised in the early years of pre-school education for adequate enrichment on curriculum and pedagogy in teaching young children. Numeracy skills in young children at pre-schools involves…

Hutchinson, Erica – South African Journal of Childhood Education, 2011
This study explored the patterning abilities of eight children between the ages of four and five and a half. Task-based interviews were conducted where children were required to produce their own repeat pattern, to copy and extend a given repeat pattern, and complete missing parts of a repeat pattern. The findings show that most children were able…

Tarim, Kamuran – Educational Sciences: Theory and Practice, 2015
The aim of this research is twofold; to investigate the effects of cooperative group-based work activities on children's pattern recognition skills in pre-school and to examine the teachers' opinions about the implementation process. In line with this objective, for the study, 57 children (25 girls and 32 boys) were chosen from two private schools…

Five-year-olds learned to associate three- or four-letter abbreviations, or cues, with spoken words, in which one of the letters in the cue corresponded to a phoneme that was articulated similarly or dissimilarly. Children found the phonetic cues easier to learn than control cues, suggesting that children are sensitive to the phonological and…
