Peer reviewedFraser, Marjory – School Science and Mathematics, 1979
Pascal's triangle can be used as early as grades five and six to teach children to recognize mathematical patterns. Children can be guided to discover patterns or sequences of numbers if they begin with pictures or physical objects which they can manipulate and count. (Author/BB)
