allerySimple patterns of repeating shapes lay the base for what mode of thinking?
AAlgebraic thinking
BMemorised recall
CPoetic thinking
DMechanical copying
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Algebraic thinking
1. The paper says moving from simple repeating shape patterns to complex ones lays the base for a mode of thinking called algebraic.
2. A pattern-rich primary curriculum may make the transition to algebra easier.
3. Recall and copying do not build that base.
