Bell, Carol J. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2011
Most future teachers are familiar with number patterns that represent an arithmetic sequence, and most are able to determine the general representation of the "n"th number in the pattern. However, when they are given a visual representation instead of the numbers in the pattern, it is not always easy for them to make the connection between the…

Stump, Sheryl L. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2011
What is the role of patterns in developing algebraic reasoning? This important question deserves thoughtful attention. In response, this article examines some differing views of algebraic reasoning, discusses a controversy regarding patterns, and describes how three types of patterns--in contextual problems, in growing geometric figures, and in…

VanDerHeyden, Amanda M.; Broussard, Carmen; Snyder, Patricia; George, Jamie; Lafleur, Sara Meche; Williams, Candace – School Psychology Review, 2011
Early measures of mathematics skill and development have focused on early numeracy skills like counting, number identification, and sequencing of numbers. This study attempted to expand early mathematics assessment. Six new measures of early mathematics skill competence were developed and evaluated. Four existing measures also were examined.…

Bright, George W. – School Science and Mathematics, 1975
When primary children were interviewed to determine their perceptions of embedded triangles, they failed to observe overlapping triangles. Possible explanations for this and other response patterns are discussed, and implications for schooling are explored. (SD)

Liedtke, W. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1975
Multi-shaped blocks can be used to help young children develop many mathematical concepts and abilities. Several suggestions for using these blocks to create problem situations through which children develop concepts are offered. (SD)

Gring, Carolyn – 1973
This workbook for children was prepared especially to accompany the level 1 Micronesian Mathematics Program Teacher's Guide. It is to be used to check whether children have learned concepts taught by activities and activity cards. Work is provided for such concepts as color recognition, categorizing, counting, ordering, numeration, contrasting,…

Jones, Lesley – Mathematics in School, 1991
Mathematical concepts occur spontaneously from many topics and can be developed in the framework of cross-curricular schoolwork. Consequently, students can gain knowledge of where mathematics arises and insight about its purposes. (Included are activities dealing with the reflectional and rotational symmetries of automobile hubcaps evolved from…

Van 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.
