Supply, Anne-Sophie; Wijns, Nore; Van Dooren, Wim; Onghena, Patrick – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2023
The many studies with coin-tossing tasks in literature show that the concept of randomness is challenging for adults as well as children. Systematic errors observed in coin-tossing tasks are often related to the representativeness heuristic, which refers to a mental shortcut that is used to judge randomness by evaluating how well a set of random…

Aleksandra Acker; Berenice Nyland; Olivera Dokic – Australian Journal of Music Education, 2024
This paper examines the relationship between early childhood music and maths. The emphasis is on children as intuitive pattern makers as they explore, categorise and imagine their worlds. We argue for the careful listening of childhood languages and reason that music and maths are expressive languages that young children use to investigate and…

Karen De Keersmaeker; Patrick Onghena; Wim Van Dooren – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2024
Mathematical language (or the content-specific words in mathematics) has repeatedly shown to be related to mathematical abilities in preschool and in the early grades of primary education. Research in this field has predominantly focused on young children's quantitative and spatial language. At the same time, recent research has discovered that…

Singer, Florence Mihaela; Voica, Cristian – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2022
While patterning was commonly seen as evidence of mathematical thinking, interdisciplinary interest has recently increased due to pattern-recognition applications in artificial intelligence. Within two empirical studies, we analyze the analogical-transfer capability of primary school students when completing three types of bi-dimensional patterns,…

M. Syawahid; Nasrun; Rully Charitas Indra Prahmana – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2024
Mathematically gifted students have a potential for understanding and connecting mathematics concept. Pattern generalization as a part of functional thinking becomes one of the benchmarks for gifted students in mathematics. The mathematics curriculum in Indonesia that has not accommodated the functional thinking ability of elementary school…

McKnight, Patrick E.; Kidd, Julie K.; Gallington, Debbie A.; Strauss, Lauren I.; Lyu, Hao; Gadzichowski, K. Marinka; Pasnak, Robert – Grantee Submission, 2021
This project tested the effects of adding instruction of trios of children in patterning, mathematics, early literacy, or social studies to ongoing instruction in kindergartens. Children were randomly assigned to trios which were randomly assigned to one of four kinds of instruction. A quarter of the trios received patterning instruction with a…

Fyfe, Emily R.; Rittle-Johnson, Bethany; Farran, Dale C. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2019
State-mandated tests have taken center stage for assessing student learning and for holding teachers and students accountable for achieving adequate progress. What types of early knowledge predict performance on these tests, especially among low-income children who are at risk for poor performance? We report on a longitudinal study of 519…

Pasnak, Robert; Gagliano, Katrina; Righi, Matthew; Kidd, Julie K. – Grantee Submission, 2019
The effects of instructing kindergarten students (five-year-old in their first year of public school) on patterning were tested. Up to nine students in each class were randomly assigned to three groups in each of six classes, i.e., as many as three from a class in each group. One group received instruction on complex patterns similar to those…

Kidd, Julie K.; Pasnak, Robert; Gadzichowski, K. Marinka; Gallington, Debbie A.; McKnight, Patrick; Boyer, Caroline Elizabeth; Carlson, Abby – Early Education and Development, 2014
Research Findings: In each of 16 public school classrooms serving multiethnic low-income neighborhoods, 2 first graders were assigned to be taught patterning, 2 to be taught reading, 2 to be taught mathematics, and 2 to be taught social studies for 15-min sessions 3 days per week for 6 months. Assignment within each classroom was randomized. The…

Whitin, Phyllis; Whitin, David J. – Young Children, 2011
The habit of looking for patterns, the skills to find them, and the expectation that patterns have explanations is an essential mathematical habit of mind for young children (Goldenberg, Shteingold, & Feurzeig 2003, 23). Work with patterns leads to the ability to form generalizations, the bedrock of algebraic thinking, and teachers must nurture…

Mulligan, Joanne; Mitchelmore, Michael – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2009
Recent educational research has turned increasing attention to the structural development of young students' mathematical thinking. Early algebra, multiplicative reasoning, and spatial structuring are three areas central to this research. There is increasing evidence that an awareness of mathematical structure is crucial to mathematical competence…
