Patterns should probably be part of the Common Core State Standards for kindergarten math. Rittle-Johnson’s most recent research has focused on patterns and whether or not learning about simple, ...

Author provided The mathematics behind how such never-repeating patterns are created is very useful in understanding how they are formed and even in designing them with specific properties. That is ...

The pattern emerges in the spectrum of a random matrix, for example, because the matrix elements all enter into the calculation of that spectrum. But random matrices are merely “toy systems” that are ...
