Spangenberg, Erica Dorethea; Pithmajor, Aphane Koko – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2020
Many Grade 9 mathematics learners face difficulties in solving number-pattern problems due to insufficient exposure to strategies in solving such problems. The aim of this exploratory qualitative study was to investigate Grade 9 mathematics learners' strategies in solving number-pattern problems. The problem-solving conceptual framework of Singer…

Introducing the Variable through Pattern Exploration.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
English, Lyn D.; Warren, Elizabeth A. – Mathematics Teacher, 1998
Reviews an alternative patterning approach and highlights the difficulties it can present when students lack the requisite skills and knowledge of processes. Describes how this approach can be used to introduce elementary algebraic ideas and offers recommendations for establishing these important understandings. (ASK)

A Holistic Approach to Algebra.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Barbeau, Edward J. – Mathematics Teacher, 1991
Described are two examples involving recursive mathematical sequences designed to integrate a holistic approach to learning algebra. These examples promote pattern recognition with algebraic justification, full class participation, and mathematical values that can be transferred to other situations. (MDH)

Generalising Number Patterns.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Andrews, Paul – Mathematics in School, 1990
Discussed are ways in which students can generalize both quadratic or cubic situations. Generalizations are produced using the factor method, repeated linear generalizations, means of the mean, and through the use of differences. (KR)
