There are patterns within the patterns that junior high students are required find the rules for and write as math expressions or equations. Hmmm…guess and check is not an efficient method for figuring out the descriptive function (rules) for a given pattern. When Galileo worked with sequences, he noticed patterns within the patterns and used these observations to find efficient methods (one dimensional matrices) to identify the function (equation) that can model the sequence of numbers. During this session, participants will explore number patterns the way Galileo did 400 years ago. Through a few explorations of the various number patterns, participants will see the connections between junior high and senior high mathematics outcomes regarding sequences, functions (linear, quadratic, cubic, other), and introductory matrices. Please come prepared to do math and engage in logical conversations! Bring your own pencil and paper or digital notepad.
