2. Give three examples of objects or animals in your house (within your locality) that
depicts a pattern similar to the three pictures above and represent it using a drawing.
Patterns and counting are correlative. Counting happens when there is pattern.
When there is counting, there is logic. Consequently, pattern in nature goes with logic or
logical set-up. There are reasons behind a certain pattern. That’s why, oftentimes, some
people develop an understanding of patterns, relationships, and functions and use them to
represent and explain real-world phenomena. Most people say that mathematics is the
science behind patterns. Mathematics exists everywhere as patterns do in nature. Not only
do patterns take many forms within the range of school mathematics, they are also a
unifying mechanism. One thing must be clear at this point. Mathematics is not all about
number. Rather, it is more about reasoning, of making logical inferences and
generalizations, and seeing relationships in both visible and invisible patterns in nature and
in the world.

Patterns indicate sense of structure and organization that it seems only humans are
capable of producing these intricate, creative, and amazing formations.
Example 1: Let’s take a look at this pattern below. What do you think will be the next face in
the sequence?

Solution: It should be easy enough to note that the pattern is made up of two smiling faces
– one without teeth and one with teeth. Beginning with a toothless face, the two faces then
alternate. Logically, the face that should follow is
?
A B
Solution: Looking at the given figures, the lines seem to rotate at 90-degree intervals in a
counterclockwise direction, always parallel to one side the square. Hence, either A or B
could be the answer. Checking the other patterns, the length of the lines inside the square
follow a decreasing trend. So again, either A or B could be the answer. Finally, looking at the
number of the lines inside the box, each succeeding figure has the number of lines increase
by 1. This means that the next figure should have five lines inside. This leads to option A as
the correct choice.
Discuss the patterns you have presented in Let’s Try This! (In 3 to 5 sentences only).
a) Observe and draw the following and find out the pattern.

foundation shows a diagonal lines
from opposite directions which
forms diamond shapes.
b) Choose one category, describe the pattern and organize a presentation of your work.
We use maths in every aspect of our lives at work and in practical everyday activities at
home and beyond. Numbers are essential even in our simple tasks like counting if we have
the right amount of change, checking prices if we go shopping or grocery, making a wise
budget, measuring doses of medicine, knowing our weights and heights, making sense of

statistics and graphs on the news, knowing our ageand what is better for us. Checking we
have the correct diet, aware of the time and so we can manage it properly. Numbers play an
important role and we need as we live.
2. What new ideas about mathematics did you learn?
I learned that there is actually a pattern or sequence of numbers that is associated with
everything we see. I became more aware with the with things around me. More curious on
its value and equivalence on math and if it follows a unique perfect pattern.
3. What is it about mathematics that might have changed your thoughts about it?
What made me change my thoughts about mathematics is that, it's more than just numbers.
There is more to it, wonders and beauties. Like for example, looking in plant, or branches of
trees isn't the same anymore for me. Faces of people, architecture and buildings. I am now
amazed on how they were formed, their sequence each part follows and the perfect
patterns they reveal.
4. Other than those mentioned in the text, describe three other patterns of shapes
that you see in nature. Discuss briefly the “mathematics” behind such patterns.
LEAVES-Some plants arrange their leaves in a whorl, as shown in the picture above.
Remarkably, the position of these whorled leaves on the stem can be often be predicted by a
mathematical formula called the Fibonacci series.
5. Identify and describe certain patterns (at least one) that you observe in your
locality or within your nearby environment.
LADDER- just like a ladder method in math, a simple technique that uses prime
numbers and visualization in the form of staggering lines to help students easily understand
math. One of the example that also relates ladder to math is the listing method in finding
the LCD of a given number, at this method you have to list all the factors in a ladder pattern.
B. Describe in details the importance of mathematics in the following areas. Cite specific
and real-life example for each.
4) Music and Arts- Mathematics also plays a pivotal role in musical harmony.
Essentially, harmony is the combination of musical sounds as perceived by the
ear and is analyzed in terms of math based concepts such as frequency, pitch,
and chord progression. Mathematics is also deeply interwoven with the western
notion of musical scale. Like for example in a dance practice in school the
instructor counts the number of beats of the music for them to easily
make/create their choreography and as well as for the students to easily
memorize the steps.
patterns that occur in nature and in the world. This lesson involves the mathematical ideas
of Fibonacci sequence, the golden ratio phi and the golden rectangle.
Learning Objective: At the end of the lesson, the students are expected to:
1. Discuss the Fibonacci sequence and its application.

The sequence of numbers formed from the number of petals of the different species
of flower is a Fibonacci sequence.
The Fibonacci sequence exhibits a certain numerical pattern
which has turned out to be one of the most interesting ever
written down. Its method of development has led to far-reaching
applications such as to model or describe an amazing variety of

After one month, the first pair is not yet at sexual maturity and can't mate. At two
months, the rabbits have mated but not yet given birth, resulting in only one pair of rabbits.
After three months, the first pair will give birth to another pair, resulting in two pairs. At the
fourth month mark, the original pair gives birth again, and the second pair mates but does
not yet give birth, leaving the total at three pairs. This continues until a year has passed, in
which there will be 233 pairs of rabbits.
The resulting number sequence, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55,.. (Leonardo himself
omitted the first term), is the first recursive sequence (in which the relation between two or
more successive terms can be expressed by a formula) known in Europe.
10
A recursive definition for a sequence is one in which each successive term of the
sequence is defined by using some of the preceding terms. If we sue the mathematical
notation F n to represent nth Fibonacci number, then the numbers in the Fibonacci sequence
are given by the following recursive definition
F 1=1 , F 2=1 , and F n=F n−1+ F n−2 for n ≥ 3.
Example 1: Use the definition of Fibonacci numbers to find the seventh and eight Fibonacci
numbers.
Solution: The first six Fibonacci numbers are 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8. The seventh Fibonacci
number is the sum of the two previous Fibonacci numbers. Thus,
F 7=F 6+ F 5
¿ 8+5
¿ 13
The eight Fibonacci number is
F 8=F 7+ F 6
¿ 13+8
¿ 21
Fibonacci observed numbers in nature. Pinecones grow in a numerical sequence. Pineapples
grow in a numerical sequence.

If we continue down the ratio of Fibonacci numbers, what number does it approach
or converge upon? _______144/89___________
As the numbers in the sequence gets larger and larger, the ratio will eventually
Fn
become the same number, and that number is the Golden Ratio ( =1.6180339887 . .. as
F n−1
n becomes large).
The golden ratio is
the division of a given unit of
12
length into two parts such that the ratio of the whole to the longer part is equals the ratio of
the longer part to the shorter part. It is also known as the golden proportion, golden mean,
golden section, golden number, and divine proportion.
1+ √5
φ= ≈ 1.6180339887

One more interesting thing about phi is its reciprocal. If you take the ratio of any
number in the Fibonacci sequence to the next number (this is the reverse of what we did
before), the ratio will approach the approximation 0.618. This is the reciprocal of Phi:
1
=0.618. It is highly unusual for the decimal integers of a number and its reciprocal to
1.618
be exactly the same. This only adds to the mystique of the Golden Ratio and leads us to ask:
What makes it so special?
The ratio between the forearm and the hand also yields a value close to the golden
ratio. Measure the length of your forearm and your hand (in centimeters). Divide the length
measure of your forearm to the length measure of your hand. What can you say to its ratio?
Length of your forearm (in centimeters): __23cm______________
Length of your hand (in centimeters): ___16cm_______________
Ratio of forearm and hand: ___0.69565217391304____________
13
Golden section can be found in the Great pyramid in Egypt. Perimeter of the
pyramid, divided by twice its vertical height is the value of Phi.
14
The Golden Ratio is so fascinating that proportions of the human body such as the
face follows the so called Divine Proportion. The closer the proportion of the body parts is to
Golden Ratio, the more aesthetic and beautiful the body is.
Golden rectangle
Look at the following rectangles: which of them seems to be the most naturally
attractive rectangle?
If you were to measure each rectangle's length and width, and compare the ratio of
length to width for each rectangle you would see the following:
Rectangle one: Ratio 1:1
Rectangle two: Ratio 2:1
Rectangle Three: Ratio 1.618:1
Golden rectangle is a rectangle whose side lengths are in the golden ratio.
The Golden Rectangle is famous concept relating aesthetics and mathematics that is
found in many natural and man-made things on Earth. A golden rectangle is one that has a
certain length to width ratio and is most pleasing to the eye.
15
The ancient Greeks considered the Golden Rectangle to be the most aesthetically
pleasing of all rectangular shapes. A classic example is the front of the Parthenon that is
comfortably framed with a Golden Rectangle.
Golden section continues to be used today in modern architecture just like the
design of Notre Dame in Paris and the United Nations Headquarters.
Golden Rectangles can be found in the shape of playing cards, windows, book
covers, file cards, ancient buildings, and modern skyscrapers.

2) What new ideas about mathematics in relation to Fibonacci sequence did you learn? I've
learned that mathematics is not just about numbers and logics, cause even the small
things arounds us has mathematics in it. Of
Measure the following body parts (in cm). You may ask someone for you to assist in
measuring your body parts. Round answer up to two decimal places. Then, write down the
proportions of each body parts.
Which ratio of your body part is nearest to the golden ratio? _ratio of width of nose and
nose tip to lips__________________
18
Which ratio of your body part is the farthest to the golden ratio? ___ratio of nose tip to chin
and we pupil to nose tip_____________
2) What is the most fascinating information that you have learned about Mathematics in
Nature? That natures has more to give not just the fresh air and amazing sceneries but
it can also makes our mind more creative like making architectural designs and etc.
