Just Five Does It: Using Five Numbers to Make Patterned Squares
Kenney, Margaret J.; Bezuszka, Stanley J.
Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, v12 n8 p436-441 Apr 2007
This article offers some ideas about creating mathematical art based on number patterns. It includes a process for students that integrates number and geometry and results in attractive and useful patterned squares. Students may pursue the activity with paper and pencil or they may use computer software like The Geometer's Sketchpad to achieve their results. The article also features the use of conjecturing as an important element in mathematics instruction. (Contains 9 figures and 1 table.)
