Look at the pumpkin in front of you. Are there any patterns you notice?If so, what are they?Where else do you see patterns in nature?Really think about these questions and
respond in your project notebook.

You need to choose a topic or a question that really interests you and makes you wonder.
We will work together to find resources for you to research to learn more about this question.
You will create a product that you can share with others to demonstrate what you have learned and to teach others about your topic.
The next slides have some sites you can explore to help you decide what your research area will be.

Math is more than adding, subtraction, multiplying, and dividing.
Mathematicians investigate patterns.One pattern to explore is symmetry.There are three types of symmetry:
LineRotationalPoint

Line symmetry occurs when a figure can be folded so that each half is identical to the other.

This site makes understanding Point Symmetry really easy and fun.
Think about where you see point symmetry at school, at home, and in the world.
Click here to explore and research…Click here to explore another site…Remember to record what you learn in your
research notebook.Always cite the source of your information so
you give credit to the source and so you know where to go back to find more.

A tessellation is created when a shape is repeated over and over again covering a plane without any gaps or overlaps.

Your assignment:Using pattern blocks from the math station, create and illustrate a Tessellation of your own.Remember the definition of a Tessellation:
A tessellation is created when a shape is repeated over and over again covering a plane without any gaps or overlaps.

By now, you are probably noticing that patterns are everywhere in nature.
Pinecones grow in spirals.Sunflowers grow their seeds in spirals.Seashells grow in spirals.Click the sunflower to learn more about Fibonacci
in nature.Click here to explore more.Click here for some Fibonacci Fun.

Now comes the really intriguing part!You get to propose a project to your teacher.You can create something that shows what you
have learned.Something that puts this all together and answers
your burning question about Patterns in Nature.You get to share this project with your teacher,
your parents, your friends in class, and our school.
The next slide has a form for you to use to complete your project proposal.
