A science ofmeasures – Measurement is an integral part of modern science as well
as of engineering, commerce, and daily life. It is an activity that involves with a
concrete system with the aim of representing aspects of that system in abstract terms
if “concrete” implies “real”.
Intellectual game – Intellectual games are games of skill that require significant
intelligence and cognitive effort. These games may be largely based on a wide or
deep knowledge. These games also require strong dose of patience, restraint, and
concentration.
2.
The art ofdrawing conclusions – Making sense of mathematics using logical thinking
is the foundation of reasoning and proof standard. Reasoning is a way to use
mathematical knowledge and to generate and solidify new mathematical ideas.
A tool subject – Mathematics is applied in the fields of engineering, theoretical and
applied physics, astronomy, aeronautics, architecture, geology, and geodetic survey.
Mathematics is also applied even in life sciences and in industry and business.

Symmetry indicates that you can draw an imaginary line across an object and
resulting parts are mirror images of each other.
It is known as line or bilateral symmetry.
if you rotate an object by several degrees, you can still achieve the same
appearance as the original position. This is known as rotational symmetry.
The smallest angle that a figure can be rotated while still preserving the
original formation is called angle of rotation.
Angle of rotation = .

Packing problems
involve finding the optimum
method of filling up a given
space such as cubic or
spherical container.
Square Packing
Each square will have an area of 4cm2
and
suppose each circles has a radius of 1cm. note that
each square, it can fit only one circle. The
percentage of one square’s area covered by circle
will be

We can think of each hexagon as composed of six equilateral triangles with side equal to
2cm. the area of each triangle is given by
This gives are of the hexagon as. Looking at the figure, there are 3 circles could
fit inside one hexagon which gives the total area as. The percentage of the hexagon’s
area covered by circles will be
Comparing the two percentages, we can clearly see that using hexagons will cover a
larger than using squares.

Sunflower
Sunflower has a definite pattern of clockwise
and counterclockwise arcs or spirals extending outward
from the center of the flower. This arrangement allows
sunflower seeds to occupy the flower head in a way that
maximizes their access to light and necessary nutrients.

Snail’s Shell
Snails are born with their shells called
protoconch. As the snails grow, their shell also expand
proportionately so that they can continue to live inside
their shells. This process results in a refined spiral
structure that is even more visible when shell is sliced.
Equiangular spiral follows the rule that as the distance
from the spiral center increases, the amplitudes of the
angle formed by the radii to the point and the tangent to
the point remain constant.

World Population
Mathematics can be used to model population growth.
Using the formula for exponential growth:, where A is the size of
the population after it grows, P is the initial number of people, r is
the rate of growth, and t is time. Note that e is Euler’s constant
with approximate value of 2.718.
Example. The exponential growth model describe the
population of a city in the Philippines in thousands, t years after
1995.
a. What was the population of the city in 1995?
b. What will be the population in 2024?
Exponential growth – is a specific way that a
quantity may increase over time.
UNIT 2 :FIBONACCI SEQUENCE
Learning Objectives:
After successful completion of this lesson, you should be able to:
1. identify patterns in nature and regularities in the world.
2. Understand the Fibonacci sequence
23.
UNIT 2 :FIBONACCI SEQUENCE
A sequence is an ordered list of numbers called terms, that may have
repeated values.
The arrangement of these terms is set by a definite rule.
Example: Analyze the given sequence for its rule and identify the next three
terms.
a. 1, 10, 100, 1000
b. 2, 5, 9, 14, 20
c. 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8
24.
UNIT 2 :FIBONACCI SEQUENCE
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377,… is
called the Fibonacci sequence.
25.
UNIT 2 :FIBONACCI SEQUENCE
Around 1200 AD when Pizano or Leonardo of Pisa (1170-1250)
published the Liber Abbaci, or “Book of Calculation,” an arithmetic
text which concentrated mainly on financial computation and
promoted the use of Hindu-Arabic numerals.
One of the exercises in his book is about the rabbit habit.
UNIT 2 :FIBONACCI SEQUENCE
Fibonacci observed numbers in nature.
A calla lily flower has only 1 petal, an Asiatic dayflower has 2, a
trillium has 3, hibiscus has 5, cosmos flower has 8, corn marigold
has 13, some asters have 21, and a daisy can have 34, 55, or 89
petals.
29.
GOLDEN RECTANGLE
The Fibonaccisequence forms a golden rectangle; a
perfect rectangle
A golden rectangle can be broken into squares the size of
the next Fibonacci number down and below.
To get the golden rectangle, break it down into smaller
squares based from Fibonacci sequence and divide each
with an arc, the pattern begins to take shapes.
31.
GOLDEN RATIO
The GoldenRatio can be expressed as the ratio between two numbers.
1/1 = 1
2/1 = 2
3/2 = 1.5
5/3 = 1.6667
8/5 = 1.6
13/8 = 1.6250
21/13 = 1.6154
34/21 = 1.6190
55/34 = 1.6177
89/55 = 1.6182
= = 1.61803

Mathematics for Organization
A lot of events happen around us. In just a blink of an eyes, several babies has been born,
liters of water have been consume or thousands of tweets have been posted. This implies that we need
mathematics to organize things, making analysis and better decision. Some of the use of mathematics in
terms of organization are:
A store owner can gather data of the shopping habits of costumers and make necessary adjustments
to increase sales.
Scientist can plot bird migration routes to conserved engaged animals.
Social media can crunch all online posting using software to gauge the netizen sentiment or a
particular issue.
Managers can determine the famous artist to for the audience to buy their concert tickets.
Store manager can survey the cake flavors usually ordered by the costumers.

Mathematics for Prediction
It is sometimes said that history repeats itself. As much as we can use mathematical
models using existing data to generate analysis and interpretations, we can also use them to
make predictions. Some of the use of mathematics in terms of prediction are:
Applying concepts of probability to calculate the chance of an event occurring.
We can also predict weather to plan an event outside.
Astronomers also use patterns to predict the occurrence of meteor showers or eclipse.
Doctors can determine the gender of the baby.

Editor's Notes
#13 Classification – it represents the first step towards learning more complex mathematical concepts. It generates a series of mental relations through which objects are grouped according to similarities and differences depending on specific criteria such as shape, color, size, etc.
Logical sequence – Ideas in mathematics need to flow in an order that makes sense. It means that each step can be derived logically from the preceding steps.
Structure – In mathematics, a structure on a set is an additional mathematical object that is related to that given set in some particular characteristic or manner, and attaches to that set to endow it with some additional meaning or significance.
Precision and accuracy – Accuracy is how close a measured value is to the actual (true) value. Precision is how close the measured values are to each other.
Abstractness - Abstraction is the process of extracting the underlying essence of a mathematical concept by taking away any dependence on real-world objects.
Symbolism – The language of mathematics is the system used by mathematicians to communicate mathematical ideas using symbols instead of words. This language is uniquely constructed in such a way that all mathematicians understand symbolic notations and mathematical formula
Applicability – The applicability of mathematics can lie anywhere on a spectrum from the completely simple (trivial) to the utterly complex (mysterious). According to Kant, “in any special doctrine of nature, there can be only as much proper science as there is mathematics therein.”
Generalization – Making generalization is fundamental to mathematics. It is finding and singling out (of properties) in a whole class of similar objects.
