- Description
- Using a design approach, this study monitors the growth in mathematics learning of ten Kindergarten students engaged in a Pattern and Structure Mathematics Awareness Program (PASMAP) over 15 weekly teaching episodes. Pre- and post- interviews using a Pattern and Structure Assessment (PASA) and standardised measures indicated substantial growth across number, measurement and geometry concepts. Qualitative analyses of digital recordings and students’ representations provided complementary evidence of their invented symbolisations and generalisations in repetitions and growing patterns. Improvements in mathematical processes such as skip counting, multiplicative thinking, unitising and partitioning, similarity and congruence, and area measurement were observed.
