Pascal Triangle
Pascal Triangle
Guide questions:
1. What patterns do you see in
the triangular array?
2. To extend the triangular array,
how will you construct its
succeeding rows? What pattern
will be used?
EXPLORE:
PATTERNS FROM THE
TRIANGULAR ARRAY
OBJECTIVES
At the end of the session, the students should
be able to:
a.)determine the properties of Pascal’s Triangle
b.)apply Pascal’s Triangle in expanding
binomial expressions and;
c.)give an importance of Pascal Triangle
What is Pascal’s Triangle and how
does it apply?
HISTORY
It is named after a French mathematician
Blaise Pascal.
However, he did not invent it as it was
already discovered by the Chinese in the
13th century and Indians also discovered
some of it much earlier.
There were many variations but they
contained the same idea

What are the uses/applications of
Pascal’s Triangle and how does it relate
to binomial expansion?
long
The Expansion of (a + b)
raised to the exponent
or power of 1 up to 8.
Activity 2:
Match each binomial
expression with its
expansion
