Les mathématiques à la maison: September 9th to 13th

Math at home

During math in our class this week, we will be looking at recognizing and creating repeating patterns of one attribute ( colour, shape, size, etc ).

Go on a hunt for patterns in your house. Look through each room and see if you can spot any patterns - in the wall paper in the bedrooms? The tile in the washroom? On your plates when having dinner? Maybe on a carpet in your living room?

Discuss these patterns - what makes it a pattern?  Does it repeat? Do you like the way they look? Are they easy to spot or complicated? Do you think they are more interesting than other designs?

Merci!
