Researchers have found a definite connection between music, patterns, and mathematics; patterns can be heard as well as seen-Grasshopper Park Medley is a wonderful example.
This week in Family Activity #4 you will be challenged to find patterns. You might be interested to know that researchers have found that there is a definite connection between music, patterns and mathematics. Our understanding of mathematical concepts can be strengthened through activities that encourage finding and indentifying all kinds of patterns. In fact, some mathematicians have even defined mathematics as the study of the patterns of numbers in space.” “Have you and your child ever noticed patterns in a piece of fabric, in the design of a flower or in the landscape of a field or yard? Patterns can be heard as well as seen. As you and your child listen to the Grasshopper Park Medley on your At Home CD, try to find the music pattern.
