Patterns were mostly left out of the common-core math standards in the early grades (kindergarten and 1st grade) due to a lack of evidence that they helped children understand later math concepts.

The new research, published in the Journal of Machine Learning Research, takes an innovative “axiomatic approach” to defining ...

But how can parents and teachers support young children’s mathematics knowledge? One often overlooked activity is patterning, or thinking about patterns. Patterns are predictable sequences ...

And he cowrote a paper, published in August, that shows a new physical theory, grounded in rigorous mathematics, that could predict patterns in realistic scenarios. Notably, Tobasco’s work ...

Achim Lilienthal, that's all you need to identify pupils' strengths and weaknesses in mathematics. The principle: a webcam tracks the eye movements. Depending on the task, specific patterns emerge ...
