Patterns were mostly left out of the common-core math standards in the early grades (kindergarten and 1st grade) due to a lack of evidence that they helped children understand later math concepts.

It is rare to read about “spectacular progress” or a “once-in-a-century” result in mathematics ... to the question of how to rotate a needle in such a way that it takes up as little ...
