Peer reviewedToumasis, Charalampos – School Science and Mathematics, 1994
Describes an activity in which students, grades 7-12, explore patterns and properties of repunits, an integer written as a string of ones. Includes extensions for exploring algebraic justifications. (MKR)

Peer reviewedErickson, Donna Bird – School Science and Mathematics, 1991
The ability of students to sort cards based on surface features and deep patterns is investigated. The effect of the presence of variables and what makes a pattern difficult or easy for students to recognize are discussed. Study revealed that students are unsuccessful at making connections between expressions, sentences, and sequences which share…
