Math in Nature:
Astronomical Units
Astronauts & scientists do
not use standard
measurements in space
because it is too vast.
Instead, they use an
Astronomical Unit (AU) to
measure distances between
planets, moons and more.
One AU is approximately
equal to the distance from
the sun to the earth.
Math in Nature:
Hexagons Galore
Have you ever noticed hexagons in
the world around you? Our world is
filled with this unique, 6-sided
shape. The most common example
is a bee hive. But we also see
hexagons in bubble rafts, turtle
shells, snowflakes and more.
Math in Nature:
Fibonacci Numbers
1,1,2,3,5,8,13…
In the year 1202, Leonardo
Fibonacci introduced a unique
number pattern now known as
the Fibonacci Sequence. The
numbers in this sequence are
frequently found in nature-
flower petals, spirals in a
pineapple, and more. What
numbers in this sequence do you
see in your backyard?
 Math in Nature:
Fractals
A fractal is a self-similar, repeating shape.
Fractals make up much of the natural world and
are seen in trees and plants, coastlines, and even
our brain and lungs! Scientists have studied
fractal patterns in nature to better understand
growth patterns of certain bacteria.
Math in Nature:
Concentric Circles

Concentric means shapes of different

sizes that share the same center. We
see concentric circles form in the
ripples of a pond, orb spider webs and
rings that form as a tree ages.
