Weaving number patterns is an exciting way to drill, and the final product is beautiful! (Editor)

Mathematical worksheets are presented for use in the elementary school classroom. The sheets deal with arithmetic and number patterns, one being for the primary grades, the other for grades 4 to 8. (RS)

Patterns and relationships found in the multiplication table of the numbers zero through nine are discussed as a means to helping students understand certain concepts. (MP)

Suggested activities involving number patterns, using the idea of a number machine." (MM)

Presents a dice game that students can use as a basis for exploring mathematical probabilities and making decisions while they also exercise skills in multiplication, pattern identification, proportional thinking, and communication. (ASK)

The Mayan system of numeration, which used 20 as the base, is discussed. The material presented has been used to stir the curiosity of students in different systems of numeration. It has been helpful in promoting a speedier and better understanding of base 10. (MP)

THIS BOOKLET, ONE OF A SERIES, HAS BEEN DEVELOPED FOR THE PROJECT, A PROGRAM FOR MATHEMATICALLY UNDERDEVELOPED PUPILS. A PROJECT TEAM, INCLUDING TEACHERS, IS BEING USED TO WRITE AND DEVELOP THE MATERIALS FOR THIS PROGRAM. THE MATERIALS DEVELOPED IN THIS BOOKLET INCLUDE (1) NUMERALS AND GEOMETRICAL PATTERNS, (2) ACTIVITIES FOR DISCOVERING PATTERNS…

Four worksheets showing how number patterns may be used to give extra practice and insight into the decimal numeration system and the basic properties of arithmetic. (MM)

Topics discussed in this column include patterns of inverse multipliers in modular arithmetic; diagrams for product sets, set intersection, and set union; function notation; patterns in the number of partitions of positive integers; and tessellations. (DT)

Analyzes discussions with teachers (n=26) of Key Stage 2 classes (ages 7-11) during interviews on mathematical tasks based on use of pattern. Finds that pattern was used frequently, but that some teachers had a wider and more sophisticated view of pattern than others. Includes references and an appendix. (CMK)

Gives a multi-lesson project exploring multiplication arrays. Students are given opportunities to model multiplication tables with rectangular arrays, develop and extend ideas about patterns, organize and present visual patterns symbolically in tables, and represent visual patterns graphically. (MKR)

Number sequences are useful complements to traditional drill and practice. Described is an activity in which the basic rule, add the tens digit to five times the ones digit, is used to generate a sequence of numbers. The dialogue between teacher and student discussing characteristics of emerging patterns is given. (MDH)

Describes the use of graphic area models of multiplication to provide visual, concrete representations for students learning two-digit multiplication. (MKR)

Describes a mathematics lesson using digital sums that allows teachers to assess third grade students' understanding of reasoning, arithmetic, and geometry. (ASK)
