Patterns are at the heart of mathematics. This article explains the basic math underlying the patterns that children encounter in their everyday lives and in preschool. Teachers need to understand these basic math concepts in order to help children build on their intuitive knowledge of them. One key concept is the generalization of patterns: the ability to apply a pattern (e.g., ABAB) to multiple materials and contexts. Other concepts covered include copying, extending, and creating patterns.
