Reflection/Assessment. Answer briefly but substantially.

A. What new ideas about mathematics did you learn? What is it about mathematics that might have
changed your thoughts about it? 10 points.
I learned a new idea of the mathematics like different kind of Patterns such as the pattern in
nature, logic pattern and number pattern. Mathematics enables us to understand nature's mysteries,
organizes patterns and regularities as well as discrepancies, and predicts outcomes. We can also
use mathematics to track epidemics and weather patterns. It also provides us with measurement
tools and new questions to consider. Math is all around us and aids in our understanding of the
world. It's like wandering through an art museum with your eyes closed if you live in a
mathematically driven environment. Learning and loving arithmetic might help you appreciate
aspects of the world that you might otherwise overlook. Math is omnipresent in reality! Bees,
experts of geometry, use hexagons to build their honeycombs, which is an example of math in
nature. The Fibonacci sequence, a well-known mathematical number series, may be found in
pinecones, seashells, trees, flowers, and leaves. Lastly, I thought learning mathematics is only
number, however even shape and design is the outcome of content in learning mathematics. The
thrill and skill were the things that made me change my mind. Some topics will wear out every
single brain cell in your body. You should never stop learning math. Mathematicians estimate that
there are hundreds or thousands of unsolved problems. At its foundation, mathematics is a means
of organizing your thoughts. It begins by stating some fundamental principles, then employs those
roles to demonstrate additional ones. A person who has learned to think mathematically will
explore a wide range of other life difficulties, whether or not they involve numbers. It is
significantly simpler to "feel good" through emotions or laziness than it is to "develop your
opinions" through discipline.

B. How does geometric designs enhance creativity and enrich one’s culture? 10 points.
Geometric designs enhance creativity and enrich one’s culture to produce a very artistic design. It
enhances the creativity and enrich one's culture because of how it requires us to use our
imagination and creativity to produce a beautiful design in culture.
