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.

In Mysterious Pattern, Math and Nature Converge All complex correlated systems, from Arctic melt ponds to the internet, appear to be governed by the same math as a random matrix. Photo: Marco de ...

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 ...

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.

A UB study characterizes two-dimensional wave patterns, such as the undular bores seen in a Chinese river, that move along ...

The New Math of Wrinkling Patterns A comprehensive mathematical framework treats these crinkles as elegant solutions to geometric problems.

Pattern formation in physical, biological, and sociological systems has been studied for many years. One area where it has been of growing interest is in crime modeling.
