The observations of a fifth-grade student concerning number patterns are recorded and discussed. (SD)

Students examined patterns emerging when numbers placed at vertices in a braided pattern were summed. (SD)

The number concepts of greatest common divisor and least common multiple are related to star patterns created through line designs. (JT)

A variety of calculator activities is described for developing problem solving skills without getting involved in tedious computations. (JT)

Programs (using Logo) developed by children to produce multiples, the Fibonacci series, and square numbers are presented, with graphical representations of functions introduced. Another investigation involves drawing a circle using turtle graphics. (MNS)

Four worksheets for levels one-eight are included. Practice on addition, multiplication, fractions and decimals, and integers is provided through activities involving puzzling patterns. (MNS)

Some number investigations on the multiplication table are provided by a sequence of four activity sheets. Beginning with examples of triangular and square numbers, the activities lead to the generalization. (MNS)

The results fail to support the hypothesis that intersensory integration is the sole or even the primary developmental skill accounting for matching task improvement with increasing age. The hypothesis that retarded readers fail to develop skills in intersensory integration is also not supported. (Authors)

An investigation to account for age changes in the accuracy with which children match auditory to visual series. (Author)

Studies were conducted to determine effects of all-capital text on reading rate and accuracy. Groups were shown text in all-capitals and mixed print. College students read mixed print faster but all-capitals more accurately. Print type did not significantly affect rate or accuracy for sixth graders. Twenty-seven references are provided.…

The purpose of this study was to provide a task on which subjects could indicate their preferences for linear or painterly art work and to determine if such preferences are related to some traditional measures of cognitive/perceptual style, chosen because they appear to relate to whole/part perception. (Author)

Reports results of two experiments to test recognition decisions of increasing difficulty among preschool children. Increasing levels of difficulty were perceptual identity, common object-class, and either taxonomic category or complementary pair formation. (Author/DB)

Schema theory, an area of educational research within perceptual learning theory, is divided into five major subtopics: (1) explanation, development, and background; (2) theoretical approaches; (3) pattern classification; (4) pattern quantification; and (5) quantified pattern feature approach (which attempts to combine classification and…

This is a not-so-serious discussion of accidental patterns involving chance patterns between mathematics and natural laws and accidental patterns involving the numbers "pi" and "e." (Author/SA)
