With you’re a/b partner, identify where you see patterns in the

real world. Be ready to discuss with class.

• music

• investments

• sleep habits

• nature

From picturesor physical models we can sometimes find both numerical and geometrical patterns.

Understanding a pattern can help us:

• extend the pattern

• create new patterns

MODELSMathematicians …

• look for patterns

• find patterns in physical or pictorial models

• look for ways to create different models for patterns

• use mathematical models to solve problems
