Peer reviewedHorak, Virginia M.; Horak, Willis J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1982
This manipulative learning aid is featured as a tool that allows a teacher to build upon the recognition of number patterns to teach basic mathematical understanding. The activities provide a means to help children refine, develop, and extend their understanding of the number system. (MP)

Peer reviewedAbramovich, Sergei – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1998
Argues that basic components of discrete mathematics can be introduced to students through gradual elaboration of experiences with iconic spreadsheet-based simulations of concrete materials. Suggests that the study of homogeneous and heterogeneous patterns of manipulative spreadsheet templates allows for appreciation of the development of…
