Peer reviewedWhitin, David J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1993
The author analyzes his 11-year-old daughter's investigation of patterns in multiplication. In an investigation initiated herself, Becca generates hypotheses, discovers patterns, asks questions, and discards procedures that do not produce desired results. Providing a classroom environment that values questioning is a key recommendation. (MLN)
