Patterns And Numbers In Nature And The World Flashcards
It is anything that has repetition with recurring characteristics and is a series of regular or consistent arrangement according to a specific rule or sequence.
A pattern
What are the six types of natural patterns?
Symmetry, spiral, stripes, spots and dots, meander, cracks
There is blank if an imaginary line is drawn across an object, the resulting parts are mirrors of each other.
Symmetry
It is a curved pattern that focuses on a centerpoint and a series of circular shapes that revolve around it. This is common in plants and some animals.
Spiral
Blank are lines or bands that differ in color or tone from an adjacent area. This pattern may be seen in various living things especially animals.
Stripes
Blank in nature are distinctive, often circular patterns that appear on the surfaces of animals, plants, fungi, and even geological formations. They vary in size color and distribution creating unique designs.
Spots and dots
It is a series of regular sinuous curves,bends, loops, turns, or windings in the channel of a river, stream, or other water courses. It is produced by a stream or river swinging from side to side as it flows across its flag plane or shifts it’s channel within a valley.
Meander
Blank are linear openings that form in materials to relieve stress. The pattern of cracks indicates whether the material is elastic or not.
Cracks
What are the four types of patterns?
Logical pattern, geometric pattern, word pattern, number pattern.
To identify logic patterns you must look out for four things what are these four things?
- Rotating shapes
- Increase and decrease in number, size of shapes or patterns
- Alternating patterns colors and shapes.
- Mirror images or reflections
Blank are a collection of shapes repeating or altered to create a cohesive design. These patterns are observed regularly.
Geometric pattern
What are the two kinds of geometric pattern?
- Tessellations
- Fractals
It is the repeating patterns of polygons that cover a plane with no gaps or overlaps. Another word for it is tiling.
Tessellations
Are mathematical constructions characterized by self similarity. Two objects are self similar if they can be turned into the same shape by stretching or shrinking and sometimes rotating.
Fractals
What are the four examples of fractals?
- Sierpinski Triangle
- Pascal’s Triangle
- Fractal Tree
- Koch Snowflake
