Understanding Mathematical Patterns and Recreational

Problems
Introduction to
Patterns
● Welcome to the last part of our third
chapter.
● Today, we will explore mathematical
problems involving patterns.
● Patterns help us understand connections
between different mathematical concepts.
Finding Patterns

● We will focus on identifying patterns in


mathematical problems.
● Example: How many dots are needed for
a certain number of rectangles?
● Let's analyze the relationship between
rectangles and dots.
Example Problem
● Each rectangle is bounded by ten dots.
● If we have seven rectangles, how many dots do we need?
● If there are 73 dots, how many rectangles can be formed?
Illustration of
Rectangles
● Each rectangle contains 10 dots.
● To find the total number of dots, we need
to identify the pattern.
● Observing the rectangles helps us
establish a systematic approach.
Counting Dots in
Rectangles
● For one rectangle: 10 dots.
● For two rectangles: 10 + 7 = 17 dots.
● For three rectangles: 10 + 7 + 7 = 24 dots.
Tabulating the Pattern
● Create a table to visualize the number of rectangles and total
dots.
● First column: Number of rectangles.
● Second column: Total dots calculated based on the pattern.
Calculating Dots for Seven
Rectangles

● For seven rectangles, the total dots


required is 10 + 42 = 52 dots.
● This systematic approach simplifies the
calculation.
● Can you identify the pattern in the
calculations?
Understanding
Recreational Mathematics

● The last topic of our chapter is


recreational mathematics.
● This involves problems, riddles, puzzles,
and games.
● These activities are for enjoyment rather
than professional applications.
Examples of Recreational Mathematics

● Examples include Rubik's cubes, magic squares, and logic


puzzles.
● These activities enhance problem-solving skills and critical
thinking.
● Have you ever tried solving a Rubik's cube or a logic puzzle?
Magic Squares

● A magic square is a grid filled with


integers.
● Each row, column, and diagonal sums to
the same number.
● This sum is known as the magic constant.
Understanding the
Magic Constant
● In a 3x3 magic square, the magic
constant is 15.
● This means every row, column, and
diagonal equals 15.
● Can you create your own magic square?
KenKen Puzzles
● KenKen puzzles, also known as Math Doku, require arithmetic
operations.
● Each cage has a target number and an operation (addition,
subtraction, etc.).
● The goal is to fill the grid without repeating numbers in rows or
columns.
Rules of KenKen

● Use numbers 1 to 4 for a 4x4 puzzle.


● No number can repeat in any row or
column.
● Each cage must meet its target using the
specified operation.
Solving KenKen
Puzzles
● Start with simple puzzles to grasp the
rules.
● Identify the target numbers and operations
for each cage.
● What strategies can you use to solve a
KenKen puzzle effectively?
Practice with KenKen
● Try solving a 3x3 KenKen puzzle.
● Remember to follow the rules and use logical reasoning.
● Share your solutions with your classmates!
Conclusion

● Today, we explored patterns in


mathematics and recreational problems.
● Understanding these concepts enhances
your problem-solving skills.
● Thank you for your participation and
engagement!
Questions and
Discussion
● What was your favorite part of today's
lesson?
● Do you have any questions about patterns
or recreational mathematics?
● How can you apply these concepts in real-
life situations?
