What will

Perhaps a better way to
truly appreciate the
value of math is to
imagine a world where
mathematics doesn’t
exist.
What is
Mathematics?
Mathematics is “a formal system of
thought for recognizing, classifying and
exploiting patterns”(Stewart, 1995).
What is
Mathematics?
It is “described as the science that deals
with the logic of shape, quantity, and
arrangement “(Hom, 2013).
It is also considered an art having an
aesthetic and creative side.
“You may feel
that math is
not your cup
of tea, but
you have to
sip it
anyway.”
What are
Mathematics as a study of patterns

patterns?
Pattern
We tend to think of patterns as
sequences or designs that are orderly
and that repeated.
Studying
patterns is an
opportunity to
observe,
hypothesize,
experiment,
discover, and
create.
