ACTIVITY.

Answer the following questions.

1. Define a pattern.

A recurring arrangement of numbers, forms, colors, and other elements constitutes a pattern in
mathematics. The Pattern can be connected to any kind of occasion or thing. When a group of numbers
are arranged in a particular way, the arrangement is referred to as a pattern. Patterns can also
occasionally be referred to as a series.

2. Give examples of logic, number, word, and geometric patterns.

LOGIC PATTERN

Example.

If the word modern can be encrypted as OQFGTP, how can you code the word WORLD?

A. YQNSF

B. YQTNF MODERN

C. YQUNF OQFG TP

C. YQPNF

Answer: B WORLD

YQTNF

NUMBER PATTERN

Example.

Even number pattern - 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, ...

Odd numbers pattern - 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, …

WORD PATTERN

Example.

The word mathematics contains the pattern xyxc with x = mat, y = he and z = ics.
GEOMETRIC PATTERN

Example.

8, 16, 32, __, 128, __.

It is a geometric pattern, as each term in the sequence can be obtained by multiplying 2 with the
previous term.

For example, 32 is the third term in the sequence, which is obtained by multiplying 2 with the previous
term 16.

Likewise, we can find the unknown terms in the geometric pattern.

First missing term: The previous term is 32. Multiply 32 by 2, we get 64.

Second missing term: The previous term is 128. Multiply 128 by 2, we get 256.

Hence, the complete geometric pattern is 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256.

3. Define tessellation and fractal.

A tessellation or tiling is the seamless covering of a surface, frequently a plane, with one or more
geometric shapes, known as tiles. In mathematics, tessellation can be expanded to encompass a wide
range of geometries and higher dimensions. A periodic tiling has a pattern that repeats.

A Fractal in mathematics or any of a class of complex geometric shapes that commonly have fractional
dimension, is a concept first introduced by the mathematician Felix Hausdorff in 1918. Fractals are
distinct from the simple figures of classical, or Euclidean, geometry. The square, the circle, the sphere,
and so forth.

4. Fibonacci Sequence.

The Fibonacci Sequence is a collection of integers or the Fibonacci numbers that goes from 0 to 1, then
1, then 1, then a series of numbers that increase continuously after that. Each number in the series is
equal to the sum of the two numbers before it.

5. Give and solve Fibonacci Sequence problems.

Problem:

Fn = Fn-1+Fn-2
Take: F0=0 and F1=1

F2 = F1+F0 = 1+0 = 1

F3 = F2+F1 = 1+1 = 2

F4 = F3+F2 = 2+1 = 3

F5 = F4+F3 = 3+2 = 5

Therefore, the fibonacci number is 5.

6. Discuss the history of Fibonacci.

The Fibonacci sequence was invented by the Italian Leonardo Pisano Bigollo (1180-1250), who is known
in mathematical history by several names: Leonardo of Pisa (Pisano means "from Pisa") and Fibonacci
(which means "son of Bonacci"), although the sequence can be traced back to about 200 BCE in Indian
literature. This sequence has produced a large amount of literature and has connections to many
branches of mathematics.

7. What is the golden ratio of Fibonacci.

1.618

The essential part is that as the numbers get larger, the quotient between each successive pair of
Fibonacci numbers approximates 1.618, or its inverse 0.618. This proportion is known by many names:
the golden ratio, the golden mean, ϕ, and the divine proportion, among others.
