Abstract
Patterning knowledge and skills help to understand the order of mathematics. The use of patterns in early mathematics learning helps children to abstract and generalize mathematical thinking and relationships. Measuring the skills of children on patterning is a prerequisite for further development in this area, but the number of measurement tools assessing these skills is very limited. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop a test for assessment of the patterning skills of preschool children and to examine its validity and reliability. As a result of the analysis, two different tests, the 26-item long form and 17-item short form, were developed. The results of the current study indicated that these forms are valid and reliable for the assessment of preschoolers’ patterning skills.
