Patterns are everywhere around us. They can be found in nature on plants, animals, and rocks, as well as man-made patterns in art, fashion, and architecture. Apply your knowledge of patterns as you study amazing geometric and number patterns. You'll even learn about the Fibonacci sequence of numbers! With vibrant photos, math charts and diagrams, grade-appropriate text, and informational text features to help navigate the text, students will learn practical, real-world applications of math skills as they learn number patterns and build their STEM skills.

Patterns are found in math, reading, science, music, art, dance, and poetry—and in the world all around us. They are also found in this delightful book written by educator Trudy Harris. Children will love the humor and predictability of this story, and teachers and parents alike will appreciate the pattern hunt that will send kids back into the book looking for more patterns again and again.

ALSC Notable Children's Book A wonderful introduction to one of the most beautiful connections between mathematics and the natural world–the Fibonacci sequence–through a series of stunning nature photographs. Discover the biggest mathematical mystery in nature—Fibonacci numbers! Named after a famous mathematician, the number pattern is simple and starts with: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13. Each number in the sequence comes from adding the two numbers before it. What's the mystery? The pattern crops up in the most unexpected places. You'll find it in the disk of a sunflower, the skin of a pineapple, and the spiral of a nautilus shell. This book brings math alive, celebrates science, and will inspire kids to see nature through new eyes.

Resnik expresses his commitment to a structuralist philosophy of mathematics and links this to a defence of realism about the metaphysics of mathematics - the view that mathematics is about things that really exist.
