This article highlights investigating intriguing number patterns utilising an emerging technology called the Square Tool. Mathematics teachers of grades K-12 will find the Square Tool useful in making connections and bridging the gap from the concrete to the abstract. Pattern recognition helps students discover various mathematical concepts. With…

Completing these worksheets leads students to discover patterns in the distribution of even numbers and numbers obtained by successive additions of 9 (primary grades). Worksheets for intermediate grades involve counting the number of factorizations for integers, and addition of the first nine whole numbers. (SD)

This booklet offers teacher instructions and student worksheets on number activities for gifted primary grade students. Three sections are included: (1) "moving numbers" which asks students to supply the missing member or members of addition and subtraction equations; (2) "number trails," which involve the completion of number…

Practice on computation is provided using new and novel situations, with discovery of number patterns a bonus of the computation. Activities with disguised addition and multiplication tables for whole numbers and integers are presented for varying levels. (MNS)

Three worksheets for use in studying triangular, square, and pentagonal numbers are presented. (SD)

These worksheets deal with sums of numbers. Students are asked to find the relationship between the last number in the series, the number of addends, and the sum. (MP)

Sequences resulting from variations of the conditions of the original Fibonacci problem are investigated. (MN)

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,…

Three worksheets provide exercises involving triangular arrays of numbers. (SD)

Four worksheets for levels one-eight are included. Practice on addition, multiplication, fractions and decimals, and integers is provided through activities involving puzzling patterns. (MNS)

Some number investigations on the multiplication table are provided by a sequence of four activity sheets. Beginning with examples of triangular and square numbers, the activities lead to the generalization. (MNS)

Using these worksheets students explore patterns in numerical and geometric processes, and predict the outcomes when the processes are iterated further. (SD)

While repairing a sleeping bag, the author observed that the quilt stitching was unicursal. This led to development of a classroom activity relating the stitching patterns of quilts to the highest common factor of the numbers of "bumps" in each direction. (SD)

Five activities involving an array of numbers called an even triangle are given. Properties of the triangle are listed and some generalizations are proven. (MP)
