Patterns are fascinating! They can be so beautiful that people come from all over the world to see them, or so familiar you hardly notice them. They appear everywhere: beehives, dinner plates, even the bottoms of your shoes!
With stunning photographs that show diverse examples from nature and artwork around the world, Bruce Goldstone reveals the secrets behind patterns-and gives you some fun ideas for making your own.
This title has Common Core connections.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Having examined concepts like probability and estimation in previous books, Goldstone gives a thorough primer on the many forms patterns can take, the ways they are constructed, and the places both natural and manmade they can be found. Photographs of animals, textiles, architectural details, and more demonstrate different types of patterns, which Goldstone unpacks in direct, accessible language, as well as in "MathSpeak" sidebars that explain how rotation, scaling, and movement can establish patterns ("A tessellation covers a flat area with one or more shapes, leaving no overlaps and no gaps"). Readers will be hard pressed not to search for patterns everywhere they look after finishing this one. Ages 7 10.
