LOOKING FOR PATTERNS


Instructions: 1. Recognising patterns in Mathematics is an important basic skill. In the following assignment you will look for number patterns and be able to show the pattern in numbers, and describe it in words. 2. 3. You are expected to work on this assignment in class AND at home. Record the time spent on each pattern in the table below.

Pascals Triangle is a special pattern of numbers written out in a large triangle. The first five rows of Pascals triangle are given below. Can you fill in the next six rows?

1. 1. 2. 3.

Lightly colour in the even numbers. What pattern do you see? Add up the numbers in each row. What type of numbers are the row totals? What patterns can you describe from the numbers on the diagonals? When you flip a coin three times, what are the possible results? [draw a tree

diagram if needed] How can you use Pascals triangle to get these results quickly?

Follow the instructions below to find all the prime numbers between 1 and 100. 1 1 1 2 1 3 1 4 1 5 1 6 1 7 1 8 1 9 1 1. Cross 1 out. 2. Then starting from 2, circle 2 but cross out every multiple of 2 from your sieve. 3. Starting with 3, circle 3, but cross out every multiple of 3 from your sieve. 4. Starting with 5, circle 5, but cross out every multiple of 5 from your sieve. 5. Starting with 7, circle 7 but cross out every multiple of it. 6. Do the same with all the primes that you know already. The numbers that are crossed are not primes, because they are multiples of other numbers. The numbers that are circled are primes. They should have no divisors apart from themselves and 1. 7. Make a list of your primes. _______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ 2 1 2 2 2 3 2 4 2 5 2 6 2 7 2 8 2 9 2 3 1 3 2 3 3 3 4 3 5 3 6 3 7 3 8 3 9 3 4 1 4 2 4 3 4 4 4 5 4 6 4 7 4 8 4 9 4 5 1 5 2 5 3 5 4 5 5 5 6 5 7 5 8 5 9 5 6 1 6 2 6 3 6 4 6 5 6 6 6 7 6 8 6 9 6 7 1 7 2 7 3 7 4 7 5 7 6 7 7 7 8 7 9 7 8 1 8 2 8 3 8 4 8 5 8 6 8 7 8 8 8 9 8 9 1 9 2 9 3 9 4 9 5 9 6 9 7 9 8 9 9 9 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 10 0

How many prime numbers are less than 100? ______

Twin primes are two primes that differ by 2. E.g. 3 and 5 are twin primes because they differ by two. Clearly, 7 and 11 are not twin primes because they differ by 4. Can you find any other twin primes on your sieve?

Symmetrical primes are those where their digits are reversed. For example 17 and 71 are both primes. However, 23 and 32 are not symmetrical primes. Can you tell why?

From your list of prime numbers (or the Sieve of Eratosthenes), find other pairs like 17 and 71. Have a look at how many primes there are up to 10, 20, 30 and so on until 100. Describe what you notice.
