"Mathematics and science can be thought of as a search for patterns and structure. Discovery and insight comes when patterns are recognized and structure is understood. From a developmental perspective, the ability to recognize a pattern signals the transition from concrete to abstract thinking. So having children explore pattern problems helps sensitize them to the discover process that provides a foundaton for authentic learning and abstraction ..."--Introduction, p. iv
