Mathematics and Beauty


A teacher of mine would often say that he found mathematics beautiful. As I watched some of you make the curve stitching patterns I began to see how beautiful mathematics can be. Today we are going to create a pattern using computer tools. The link marked pattern tool will bring you to an interactive pattern maker using the path of a turtle. I want each of you to figure out what the controls of the tool do to change the pattern. Once you create a pattern that you like open a word document and copy and paste your image. Save the document and email it to me.
My email is: gengs001@hartfordschools.org


Finally leave a comment that answers this question: do you find the making of patterns beautiful?
