Tirosh, Dina; Tsamir, Pessia; Levenson, Esther S.; Barkai, Ruthi; Tabach, Michal – Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, 2019
This study investigates 27 preschool teachers' verbalization of various aspects of pattern structure as well as their knowledge of pattern structure while solving patterning activities. Aspects of structure that are investigated include the unit of repeat, its length and the amount of times it is repeated, and whether or not the pattern ends in a…

Tsamir, Pessia; Tirosh, Dina; Barkai, Ruthi; Levenson, Esther – Research in Mathematics Education, 2018
Several studies have investigated children's engagement with repeating pattern tasks, but few have related to patterns with ABA as the minimal unit of repeat. This study focuses on identifying intuitive characteristics of children's work as they engage with repeating pattern tasks of different structures, focusing on the differences between ABA…
