Abstract

This paper reports on an investigation of the nature and extent of teacher’s knowledge of mathematical patterning and how this knowledge is applied in their daily planning and day-to-day interactions with children. Two case studies indicated that teachers acknowledged the salient role of mathematical patterning and were satisfied with their understanding of patterning processes. However observation of these teachers’ classes suggests that there were limited worthwhile patterning opportunities for children.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
