Mathematical Pattern

This book from the Schools Council is one of the Mathematics for the Majority project's background guides. It brings together, from a variety of branches of mathematics, topics in which an element of pattern is strongly emphasised. In particular, the chapters cover: 1. Pattern's pervasiveness 2. Some patterns in numbers 3. Pattern in shapes 4. Pattern in graphical representation 5. Pattern in statistics, probability and chance 6. Pattern in number structure The specific purpose of this book was not one of direct classroom use, but is in the first place a background guide for teachers. Nevertheless, teachers could well find that they could easily draw classroom material at their students' level from the various descriptions of pattern offered in it.
