LESSON 1 THE NATURE OF


What is MATHEMATICS?

LESSON 1 THE NATURE OF MATHEMATICS


Mathematics – Problem Solving
• It involves the ability to explore, think through
an issue, and reason logically to solve routine as
well as nonroutine problems.

LESSON 1 THE NATURE OF MATHEMATICS


Mathematics – Language of Communication
• It means finding ways to express ideas with
words, diagrams, pictures, and symbols.

LESSON 1 THE NATURE OF MATHEMATICS


Mathematics – Reasoning
• is used to think through a question and come
up with a useful answer. It is a major part of
problem solving.

LESSON 1 THE NATURE OF MATHEMATICS


Mathematics – Connections
• Connections make mathematics to understand because
they allow us to apply common rules to many different
things.

LESSON 1 THE NATURE OF MATHEMATICS


Mathematics – Measurement
• is finding the length, height, and weight of an
object using units like inches, feet, and pounds.

LESSON 1 THE NATURE OF MATHEMATICS


Mathematics – Number Sense and Numeration
• Number sense is much more than merely counting, it
involves the ability to think and work with numbers
easily and to understand their uses and relationships.
Number sense is about understanding the different
uses for numbers (describe quantities and
relationships, informational tools).

LESSON 1 THE NATURE OF MATHEMATICS


Mathematics – Geometry and Spatial Sense
• Geometry is the area of mathematics that involves shape,
size, space, position, direction, and movement, and describes
and classifies the physical world in which we live. Spatial
sense gives you an awareness of yourself in relation to the
people and objects around you.

LESSON 1 THE NATURE OF MATHEMATICS


Mathematics – Estimation
•To estimate is to make an educated guess as
to the amount or size of something.

LESSON 1 THE NATURE OF MATHEMATICS


•Mathematics – Statistics and Probability

• Using graphs and charts, people organize and interpret


information and see relationships. Graphing is another way
to show and see information mathematically.

LESSON 1 THE NATURE OF MATHEMATICS


Mathematics - Patterns and Relationships
• Patterns are things that repeat; relationships are things that are connected by
some kind of reason. They are important because they help us understand the
underlying structure of things; they help us feel confident and capable of
knowing what will come next, even when we can't see it yet.

LESSON 1 THE NATURE OF MATHEMATICS


Mathematics is Universal

LESSON 1 THE NATURE OF MATHEMATICS


Patterns
• Are regular, repeated, or recurring forms or design.

LESSON THE NATURE OF MATHEMATICS


Symmetry
• The images which can be divided into identical halves
• Any line splitting a shape into two parts such that the two
parts are the same is called a line of symmetry

LESSON 1 THE NATURE OF MATHEMATICS


Symmetry

LESSON 1 THE NATURE OF


Symmetry
• The Vitruvian Man was
created by Leonardo da Vinci
around the year 1487.
• “Proportions of Man”

LESSON 1 THE NATURE OF MATHEMATICS


Fractals
• Are objects in which the same
pattern that occurs over and over
again at different scales and sizes

LESSON 1 THE NATURE OF


Tessellations
• A tessellation or tiling of a flat
surface is the covering of
a plane using one or more geometric
shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps
and no gaps.

Tessellations
• A tessellation or tiling of a flat
surface is the covering of
a plane using one or more geometric
shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps
and no gaps.

LESSON 1 THE NATURE OF MATHEMATICS


Spiral
• A spiral is a curved
pattern that focuses on a
center point and a series of
circular shapes that revolve
around it.

LESSON 1 THE NATURE OF MATHEMATICS


Spiral

LESSON 1 THE NATURE OF MATHEMATICS


Stripes
• A long narrow band or strip, typically of
the same width throughout its length,
differing in color or texture from the
surface on either side of it.

Symmetry Fractals Tessellations

Spiral Stripes

LESSON THE NATURE OF MATHEMATICS


Analyze the given sequence for its rule and identify
the next three terms.

a. 3, 10, 17, 24, . . .


b. 1, 10, 100, 1000, . . .
c. 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, . . .

LESSON 1 THE NATURE OF MATHEMATICS


Fibonacci Sequence
•Each number in the sequence is the sum of the
two numbers that precede it. So, the sequence
goes: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, and so on.

Fibonacci Sequence
• Leonardo of Pisa nickname
Fibonacci – hypothesized
group of rabbits bred and
reproduced.
