MATHEMATICS IN THE MODERN WORLD

Chapter 1 MATHEMATICS IN NATURE

OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the chapter, the students would be able to:
Multiply and determine the product of numbers using
different patterns
Appreciate and understand the beauty of patterns and
apply them into calculations
Solve for the unknown variables of two equations under
systems of linear equation using an alternative pattern.
PATTERNS AND NUMBERS
▪Numbers are items that describe positions or magnitudes.
▪Patterns are repeated forms of designs.
▪Patterns can be produced by applying some
measurement with the aid of numbers.
▪For example, a dressmaker to produce number of dresses
with speed and uniformity needs to create first, a pattern.
FIGURES AND PATTERNS
Figures/ patterns can be formed when multiplying two
numbers having equal number of digits.
▪Chalice
▪Diamond
▪Christmas tree
