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)

Learning activities are given for instruction in the skill of associating numbers with sets of dots, a skill intermediate between counting and higher number concepts. (MP)

This discussion of cyclic patterns that appear in repeating decimals includes the use of the calculator in discovering the patterns. (MP)

Beginning with a set of design cards and a rectangular grid, students can generate interesting and colorful designs using rotations, reflections, and translations. (SD)

Describes a model using a group of fifth-grade students to better understand the assessment standards. Discusses the activity, the lesson on tessellation, and instructional decisions from the perspective of the assessment standards. (ASK)

Presents an extension of the hog game that satisfies the mathematical process activities of observing patterns; forming, testing and proving hypotheses; and applying and extending proved results. Discusses use of technology in the investigation of problems and in the process of devising and validating general rules. (ASK)
