Patterns are simple sequences that repeat over and over again in a certain order. Supporting children’s ability to recognize patterns can improve mathematical skills.

Why do humans love to look at patterns? I can only guess, but I’ve written a whole book about new mathematical ways to make them. In Creating Symmetry, The Artful Mathematics of Wallpaper ...

We spoke with an expert from Vanderbilt University about why patterns aren't included in the Common Core State Standards for kindergarten math and whether they should be added.

Math is all around us, whether we are playing a game outside, cooking in the kitchen, or even playing with toys at home. Here are ideas you can do with… ...

Mathematical patterns reveal profound truths about the universe and, surprisingly, about our inner lives as well. These five visual math concepts offer unique frameworks for understanding our ...

Today, I want to start with a much broader question: What do we really know about how to teach math to children? The answer is not all that much—and what little we do know is highly contested.

You know math better than you think you do: Our mathematical thinking includes not just algebra or geometry, but trigonometry, calculus, probability, statistics, and any of the at least 60 types ...

And what if their patterns helped humans puzzle out numeric mysteries? These are some of the questions that Christophe Golé, professor of mathematical sciences, and his co-authors explore in their new ...
