Abstract
It is often recommended to engage young children with patterning activities. As part of a professional development program, nine preschool teachers were introduced to repeating patterns and were given the materials and instructions with which to implement an extension task with children. This study presents the various ways teachers implemented this task and investigates the impact of the various implementations on children's success in extending the repeating patterns.
