Patterns In Math • By: Nichole Sovey • CS255 • P12
What is a Pattern? • A pattern is a repeated design or reoccurring sequence. • Some say that math is the science of patterns.
How many Math Patterns are their? • It is impossible to count ever math pattern. • Math patterns can be connected to Science. Ex: The Rings on a tree give a pattern to its age.
Famous Math Patterns • Pi http://archive.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Edu/RSE/RSEorange/buttons.html • Tessellationshttp://mathforum.org/sum95/suzanne/tess.intro.html • Pascal’s Trianglehttp://ptri1.tripod.com/
Pattern for Multiplying 9 • An easy way to remember the multiplication table for 9 is to remember the pattern. • http://ellerbruch.nmu.edu/classes/cs255w03/cs255students/nsovey/P12/9x1.pdf • Notice all sums add up to the number 9 • Continue adding sums to see if the pattern continues.
Patterns for Multiplying 8 • Another recognizable pattern occurs with the number 8. • http://ellerbruch.nmu.edu/classes/cs255w03/cs255students/nsovey/P12/8x1.pdf • Notice the pattern in adding 8. The sums decrease by 1 as you multiply. • Continue adding sums to see the pattern continue.
Patterns Are All Around Us • These are only a few of some well known math patterns. To understand patterns is to understand math. • Patterns occur in numbers and in other areas of everyday life.
