INSTRUCTIONAL FAIR Exploring Patterns in Mathematics IF-19314

Description

Students discover various patterns that are the basis of mathematical concepts through the activities found in Exploring Patterns in Mathematics. Concepts include sequences, powers, place value, operations with integers, binary numbers,modular arithmetic, expansion of binomials, and probabilities through related patterns such as the Fibonacci sequence and Pascal’s triangle. Geometric concepts are used to identify and create patterns. Students learn to determine and developcode patterns in the section on cryptology. Each section contains important teacher information including mathematical proofs and extension suggestions. A complete answer key is provided for teacher convenience. Based on NCTM Standards. 96 pp
