Peer reviewedWhitin, David – Arithmetic Teacher, 1979
Number patterns discovered by third graders are described and discussed. (MK)
Descriptors: Activities, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Mathematics Instruction
Peer reviewedSwetz, Frank – Mathematics Teacher, 1980
Magic circles, number puzzles somewhat more complex than magic squares, are described and discussed. (MK)

Peer reviewedTrotter, Terrel, Jr.; Myers, Mark D. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1980
An activity is presented which provides a novel approach to number patterns, experience in following an unusual algorithmic procedure, and practice in systematic search techniques and basic facts. (MK)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Mathematics Curriculum
Peer reviewedPitts, J. L. – Mathematics in School, 1979
Patterns generated by the set of natural or counting numbers are discussed. Included are quartic, odd, square, and triangular numbers. (MK)
Descriptors: Addition, Mathematical Concepts, Mathematical Enrichment, Mathematics
Peer reviewedScheuer, Donald W., Jr.; Williams, David E. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1980
Two posters that can be used to provide experience in recognizing patterns in sequences of numbers are provided. Suggested number sequences for different grade levels are given. (MK)

Peer reviewedSchalch, Zoe; Wallace, Robyn – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 1987
Four activity workshops are suggested which might be used for several different purposes. The reproducible worksheets address clock patterns, patterns with tides, extending Pythagoras, and fractions extended. (PK)

Peer reviewedSchwartzman, Steven – Mathematics Teacher, 1988
Investigates the arithmetic curiosity that when any integer is raised to the fifth power, the digits unit of the result is always the same as the digits unit of the original number. Explores results in number bases other than 10 via the computer. (PK)
