• Discuss in your groups.

Awareness of Mathematical Pattern and Structure
“An Awareness of Mathematical Pattern and Structure (AMPS) generalises across early mathematical concepts, can be reliably measured, and is correlated with mathematical understanding” (Mulligan & Mitchelmore, 2009)
![Page 5: Mathematics and Statistics Leaders Symposium September 2011 Waipuna Conference Centre Fun With Algebra [Level 1, 2 and 3] Bina Kachwalla Mathematics Facilitator](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e9e5503460f94b9fc2b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What is the research saying?
• Young children learn mathematical ideas by seeing patterns in an organised way looking for sameness and difference.
• New research, from psychologists and neuroscientists, shows that early development of visual pattern and structure helps mathematical development. Pre-school and school based intervention focused on patterning can lead to a significant improvement in mathematical outcomes.
(Joanne Mulligan, 2010)

Why do some children fail in mathematics?
Some children go through their entire schooling without learning any real mathematics because they do not abstract ideas in a way that promotes mathematical thinking … pattern, structure and relationships – that’s the essence of mathematics.

Findings – ‘less able’ children
• Lack of awareness of pattern and structure
• Focus on non-mathematical superficial features
• No clear developmental patterns
• Some children revert to primitive strategies and images
• Some children ‘crowd’ their thinking with surface features
• Poor visual memory

Activities to make connections with numbers.
• What is a pattern?
• What is a structure?
• How do we make mathematical connections? Or
• Develop mathematical relationships?

The ‘equals’ sign
7 + 8 + 9 =
4 + 5 = + 3
x = 3
What does the equals sign mean in each of these situations?

Staircases:One block is needed to make a 1-step up-and-down staircase. It takes one step to get up and one step to get down.
. This is a called a 2-step staircase as it takes two steps to go up and two steps to go down
How many cubes they think would be needed to make a 5-step staircase. What do you notice? How would you explain in words? What rule can you come up with?
