Q&A

1. What is a pattern?
PATTERN

A particular way in
which something is
done, is organized, or
happens.
KINDS OF PATTERN IN NATURE

1. Symmetry
2. Spirals
3. Chaos
4. Waves/ Dunes
5. Bubbles/Foam
6. Cracks
7. Spots/Stripes

1.1. Painting
1.2. Drawings
1.3. Tapestry
1.4. Ceramic Tiling
1.5. Carpet
2. Structures
SCIENCE & MATHEMATICS

1. Fractals are mathematical
patterns that are scale invariant.
This means that the shape of the
pattern does not depend on how
closely you look at it. Self-
similarity is found in fractals. 
TEST YOURSELF
1. What is the next number in the series?
2.
2. What is a sequence?
SEQUENCE

Is an ordered list of
numbers, called terms,
that may have repeated
values. The arrangement
of these terms is set by a
definite rule.
3. What is the
significance of
patterns/sequences
in our world?
SOME USES OF PATTERNS/SEQUENCES
Studying Patterns allows one to observe,
hypothesize, discover, and create.
1. Human Behavior
2. Astronomy (e.g. Galaxies, weather
patterns, etc.)
3. Architecture
4. Biology
5. Physics
4. What is the
relationship of
mathematics with these
patterns/sequences?
Mathematics is the study of
patterns. Many results in
mathematics come about as
generalizations of patterns in
numbers and shapes. Those who
recognize, generalize, and use
patterns around them are better
at solving problems, have deeper
appreciation of the uses of
mathematics, and are better
equipped to work with
mathematics than those who do
not.
FIBONACCI SEQUENCE
13 – 3 – 2 – 21 – 1 – 1 – 8 – 5
O, Draconian Devil!
Oh, lame Saint!

Secret Code
From Dan Brown’s best – selling Novel
THE DA VINCI CODE
 DEFINITION
 Thefirst two numbers in the Fibonacci sequence are 1
and 1, and each subsequent number is the sum of
the previous two.

The sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, …

Recurrence Relation

Binet Form
TEST YOURSELF

Use Binet’s Formula to

determine the 25th, 30th,
and 50th Fibonacci
numbers.
GOLDEN RATIO
In Mathematics and the arts, two quantities are in a golden
ration if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to
the larger of the two quantities.
  The Golden Ratio is symbolized by the
Greek letter
It is the number

and the irrational number

GOLDEN RECTANGLE AND THE SPIRAL

Geometrically, the Golden Ratio

can also be visualized as a
rectangle perfectly formed by
a square and another
rectangle, which can be
repeated infinitely inside
each section.
USES OF THE GOLDEN RATIO
The Golden Ratio shows up in art,
architecture, music, and nature.
Examples:
1. Mona Lisa
2. Notre Dame Cathedral
3. Parthenon
4. Seurat’s Bathers
5. Vitruvian Man
6. DNA
GROUP WORK
