Picture of the Week Jan. 25

In Mathmatics patterns are always something that you will see, as 1st graders eleven years ago we made patterns out of little blocks to learn our additions tables(Or atleast I did). As we've grown older the patterns we see in Mathmatics have gotten more and more complex. In tenth grade we learned about Sierpinski's Triangle that in a short explanation is multiple triangles scaled down. While we also learned Koch's snowflake and had to eventually draw one of our own. In tenth grade geomotry we also learned about Pascals Triangle. Which is this week's picture of the week . This Triangle is an interesting, complex, well worth knowing, triangle that uses numbers to tell us the binomials of some algebraic mathmatical problems.
