is a structure, form, or design that is regular, consistent, or recurring.
can be found in nature, in human-made designs, or in abstract ideas
Pattern
6 types of pattern
geometric pattern
pattern of texture
patterns of visual
patterns of movement
patterns of rhythm
patterns of flow
are often unpredictable, never quite
repeatable, and often contain fractals. These patterns are can be seen from the
seeds and pinecones to the branches and leaves. They are also visible in self-similar
replication of trees, ferns, and plants throughout nature.
patterns of visual
are usually found in the water, stone, and even in the
growth of trees. There is also a flow pattern present in meandering rivers with the
repetition of undulating lines.
pattern of flow
.This prevalence of
pattern in locomotion extends to the scuttling of insects, the flights of birds, the
pulsations of jellyfish, and also the wave-like movements of fish, worms, and
snakes
pattern of movement
m is conceivably the most basic pattern in nature. Our
hearts and lungs follow a regular repeated pattern of sounds or movement whose
timing is adapted to our body’s needs. Many of nature’s rhythms are most likely
similar to a heartbeat, while others are like breathing. The beating of the heart, as
well as breathing, have a default pattern.
pattern of rhythm
is a quality of a certain object that we sense through
touch. It exists as a literal surface that we can feel, see, and imagine. Textures are
of many kinds. It can be bristly, and rough, but it can also be smooth, cold, and
hard.
pattern of texture
is a kind of pattern which consists of a
series of shapes that are typically repeated. These are regularities in the natural
world that are repeated in a predictable manner. cacti succulents
geometric patterns
3 types of symmetries
reflection symmetry, rotations, translations
4 types of pattern found in nature
symmetry, waves and dunes, spots and stripes, spirals
sometimes called line symmetry or mirror symmetry,
captures symmetries when the left half of a pattern is the same as the right half.
reflection symmetry
captures symmetries when it still
looks the same after some rotation (of less than one full turn). The degree of
rotational symmetry of an object is recognized by the number of distinct
orientations in which it looks the same for each rotation
rotation
Translational symmetry exists in
patterns that we see in nature and in man-made objects. Translations acquire
symmetries when units are repeated and turn out having identical figures, like the
bees’ honeycomb with hexagonal tiles.
translation

human body, animal movement, snowflakes, sunflowers, bee hives, starfish
refers to an ordered list of numbers called terms, that may have
repeated values. The arrangement of these terms is set by a definite rule.

sequence
4 types of sequence
arithmetic sequence, harmonic sequence, geometric sequence, fibonacci sequence
. It is a sequence of numbers that follows a definite
pattern. To determine if the series of numbers follow an arithmetic sequence,
check the difference between two consecutive terms.
arithmetic sequence
we need to look for the
common ratio.
geometric sequence
the reciprocal of the terms behaved
in a manner like arithmetic sequence.
harmonic sequence
