This study explores the influence of different forms of representations on pupils’ performance in complex and simple structured patterns at activities which involved continuing a pattern, predicting terms in further positions and formulating a generalization. Data were obtained from pupils in grades 5 and 6 on the basis of a test. Three levels of cognitive complexity (CC) of the understanding of mathematical relations in patterns were validated based on pupils’ performance: empirical abstraction of mathematical relations, implicit use of a general rule and explicit use of a general rule. Findings also revealed that the initial representational form affected pupils’ performance especially at complex patterns. Pupils dealt more efficiently with the pictorial form of representation relative to the verbal one.
