    Mathematics is a formal system used to recognize, classify, and exploit patterns. It can be found everywhere in daily tasks, nature, arts, music, medicine and other disciplines. Mathematics provides tools for calculations, describes natural order and occurrences, and helps control events and phenomena. It is done through curiosity, seeking patterns, trial and error, and problem solving without fear of more questions. Mathematicians, scientists, and everyone uses mathematics as it puts order in disorder and helps make the world a better place.

    Look for Fibonacci numbers in fruits,


    vegetables, flowers, or plants available in
    your locality. Write a report about your
    obtained results.
