Number Patterns

Number patterns are a way of describing how a certain number or sequence of numbers is related. For example, a common number pattern is the Fibonacci sequence, in which each number is the sum of the previous two numbers. Other number patterns include the triangle numbers, square numbers, and prime numbers.

Number patterns can be used to solve problems, make predictions, and discover relationships between numbers. They can also be a fun way to explore mathematics and develop problem-solving skills.

Number patterns are often thought of as a special case of more general patterns, such as in music or poetry. However, number patterns can be found in many different places, such as in the natural world, art, and even in people's names. Learning about number patterns is a great way to help students develop mathematical and problem-solving skills.

Number patterns can be found everywhere. For example, the Fibonacci sequence (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34,…) is a series of numbers in which each number is the sum of the previous two numbers. This sequence can be found in nature, such as in the arrangement of leaves on a plant.

Artists often use number patterns in their work. One well-known example is the work of M.C. Escher, who used tessellations (a type of number pattern) in many of his designs..
