Module 1 Flashcards
IT IS THE STUDY OF PATTERN AND STRUCTURE
MATHEMATICS
An arrangement which helps observers anticipate what they might see or what happens next
PATTERN
The regular arrangement of objects in
any form found everywhere plants, animals, humans, earth
formations, and many others. These include symmetries,
spirals, waves, arrays, cracks, stripes, etc.
PATTERNS IN NATURE
A design or pattern that is identical on both halves when folded.
SYMMETRY
2 types of symmetry
BILATERAL OR REFLECTION SYMMTERY AND RADIAL SYMMETRY
Sometimes called line symmetry or mirror symmetry, captures
symmetries when the left half of a pattern is the same as the
right half.
BILATERAL OR REFLECTION SYMMTERY
Symmetry in which the sides exhibit correspondence or regularity of parts around a central axis.
RADIAL SYMMETRY
It is a pattern in nature that is a “never ending pattern”
FRACTALS
A flat surface is the
tiling of a plane using one or more geometric shapes, called tiles,
with no overlaps and no gaps.
TESSELLATION
It is a one containing objects, shapes, pictures, or other elements that repeat themselves
GEOMETRIC PATTERNS
LOGIC PATTERNS
Logic patterns are usually the first to be observed.
It is a list or set of numbers that follow a certain sequence or pattern. As an arrangement of numbers, it illustrates a way
that it follows a particular property or pattern.
NUMBER PATTERNS
EXAMPLE OF NUMBER PATTERN:
Find the next number in the pattern
46, 49, 52, 55, 58,_
61
What are the frequently observed patterns in nature and the world
HONEYCOMB, SNOWFLAKES, TIGER STRIPES, HYENA’S SPOT, SUNFLOWER, SNAIL’S SHELL, FLOWER’S PETAL, WEATHER PATTERS
Are sinuous bends in rivers or other channels, which
form as a fluid, most often water, flows around bends.
