Zippert, Erica L.; Douglas, Ashli-Ann; Rittle-Johnson, Bethany – Grantee Submission, 2020
Both recent evidence and research-based early mathematics curricula indicate that repeating patterns--predictable sequences that follow a rule--are a topic of major importance for mathematics development. The purpose of the current study was to help build a theory for how early repeating patterning knowledge contributes to early math development,…

Flores, Margaret M.; Hinton, Vanessa M.; Taylor, Ja'Lia J. – Preventing School Failure, 2018
Students must leave elementary school with a firm understanding of fractions and decimals in order to make satisfactory progress in advanced mathematics. Firm understanding includes manipulation of rational numbers using different models of representation such as area and length. Research has demonstrated that a graduated sequence such as…
