In the meantime here is a question for you…Let’s say your parents were unbelievably wealthy and they offered to pay you to keep your room clean. Here are the two deals that you have to choose from:

 

  Deal 1 – Your parents would pay you 1 million  dollars($1 000 000) at the end of 30 days if your room is neat and tidy every day.

  Deal 2 – Your parents agree to pay you 1 cent the first day, then 2 cents the second day, 4 cents the third day, 16 cents the fourth day  and so on, doubling the number of pennies every day for 30 days.

  Which deal do you want to take? Why? Think about it.

Ceolacanth is a prehistoric fish. It was thought that it died 65 million years ago!! In the mid 1700’s it was found in Africa!! Since then more sightings have happened!!! WOW!!! Go to: http://www.dinofish.com/

100 million years ago cephalopods lived under water. They were related to cuttlefish and squid. prehistoric fish and shark with the rule of eat or be eaten. Then 135 million years later the BIG BANGhappened, there the Earth with no dinosaurs NOTHING! Except the surviving mammals than wooly mammoths, ancient people, than the Ice Age.

Forest fires everywhere almost all life died. Cockroaches Dragonflies and burl mammals survived. When everything cleared up it started to acid rain and about 70% of the surviving mammals died.

I was trying to think of all the places that I see number patterns everyday. This picture is an example of one of those places. There are several patterns happening in this photo. Think about other places where we see number patterns.

I am looking at another number pattern right now. It goes like this: 1, 4, 7  then the next part of it is 2, 5, 8 and the third part is 3, 6, 9. These patterns are on a thing that you all have in your homes. I wonder if you can guess what it is. Leave a comment if you can find it. If you think you know what it is, then look for more patterns on it.

Just for fun here is another pattern rule to figure out:  3, 5, 9, 17, 33, 65… (Hint: this is not an alternating pattern)

• practice your patterning with these links: Stop that Creature and The Function Machine
