abstract = "Patterning activities, specifically those related to repeating patterns, may encourage young children's appreciation for underlying structures. This paper investigates preschool teachers' knowledge and self-efficacy for defining, drawing, and continuing repeating patterns. Results indicated that teachers were able to draw and continue various repeating patterns but had difficulties defining repeating patterns. In general, teachers had a high self-efficacy for all tasks. However, teachers' had a significantly lower self-efficacy for defining repeating patterns than for drawing and continuing repeating patterns.
