The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Pattern Understanding: Relationships With Arithmetic and Reading Development (2017, background): “This has been examined in several studies (17, 18, 20, 23, 33-35).”
The Influence of Relational Knowledge and Executive Function on Preschoolers’ Repeating Pattern Knowledge (2016, background): “The present results indicate that preschoolers have a range of repeating pattern knowledge, a central component of early mathematics knowledge (Kidd et al., 2013, 2014; Papic et al., 2011; Warren & Cooper, 2007).”
Not Just IQ: Patterning Predicts Preschoolers’ Math Knowledge Beyond Fluid Reasoning (2019, background): “Most importantly, experimental work with both preschoolers and first graders indicates that intensive year-long patterning instruction can improve end-of-the-year math knowledge (Kidd et al., 2013, 2014; Papic et al., 2011).”
