- Abstract
In this study strategies used by middle school students while creating figural patterns based on a linear number pattern and figural pattern types that created by partcipants was investigated. In total, 474 middle school students attended to study. Case study method was used for data collection. Data were collected from a pattern task, in which participants were asked to generate figural patterns based on a 3,5,7,9,11,… linear number pattern. The obtained data were analysed at two levels. The results of the study indicated that participants produced different figural patterns and used different figural pattern generating strategies. The nature of the strategies that participants used was both visual and non-visual. Most of the participants preferred counting strategy while creating figural patterns. Moreover, in that study in addition to counting strategy, determining a figure+counting, recursive, drawing, explicit and chunking the numbers strategies were used. During the generating figural patterns, some of the participants had issues.
