Described are patterns in Pascal's triangle which are obtained when the entries are reduced modulo a prime number. (MM)

Mathematical worksheets are presented for use in the elementary school classroom. The sheets deal with arithmetic and number patterns, one being for the primary grades, the other for grades 4 to 8. (RS)

Patterns in modular arithmetic are discussed: (1) multiplication tables, and (2) diagrams obtained by joining points on the circumference of a circle. (MM)

Suggested activities involving number patterns, using the idea of a number machine." (MM)

A series of experiences with patterns in number pairs, each using a physical model. (MM)

Four worksheets showing how number patterns may be used to give extra practice and insight into the decimal numeration system and the basic properties of arithmetic. (MM)

Postulated here is the notion that the exploration of number patterns with calculators is a valuable mathematical learning activity that should be commenced in the primary grades. Various activities are presented that make use of the constant function key, which is available on many of the inexpensive four-function calculators. (JJK)

Presents a brief definition and examples of residue designs while sharing some of the algebraic thought that a student used to form generalizations about the patterns discovered during the investigations of residue designs. (ASK)

The author analyzes his 11-year-old daughter's investigation of patterns in multiplication. In an investigation initiated herself, Becca generates hypotheses, discovers patterns, asks questions, and discards procedures that do not produce desired results. Providing a classroom environment that values questioning is a key recommendation. (MLN)
