Mathematics and •Looking at the relationship of a series of patterns over

time can lead to making accurate predictions of

the Patterns of particular results. This is a common method of
mathematical pattern analysis and such an analysis is
Life important for the following reasons:
(1) Understanding mathematical patterns allows someone to identify such
patterns when they first appear.
(2) Patterns provide a sense of order in what might otherwise appear chaotic.
(3) Patterns allow someone to make educated guesses.
(4) Understanding patterns aid in developing mental skills.
(5) Patterns can provide a clear understanding of mathematical relationships. This can
be seen in a very evident manner in the form of multiplication tables. 2x2, 2x4, 2x6
are clearly examples of the relationship pattern found in multiplication.
(6) Understanding patterns can provide the basis for
understanding algebra.
(7) Understanding patterns provide a clear basis for
problem solving skills.
(8) Knowledge of patterns is transferred into science
fields where they prove very helpful.
(9) One of the lesser known aspects of patterns is the
fact that they often form the basis of music.
(10) Patterns provide clear insight into the natural
world.
