ABSTRACT
This study describes the strategies used by students when faced with the problem of pattern generalization. The 5th and 6th grade elementary school students were given problem of pattern and asked to solve it. Based on the results of think aloud, written works and interviews are classified strategies used by students in solving problems.From the results of data analysis it can be concluded that most students use recursive strategy, few students using explicit strategy and one student using image which make it easier to determine nth rule .
