Here are Hava's! Shadows are like patterns! Hava and I saw this building on our way home from her surgery at the hospital yesterday.  Cool patterns!  She said, "Grab the phone!  Can we take a picture of that building?"

Piper did this prezi:  "Your Place" prezi Mary did this prezi:  "Pattern" prezi   (click on the link and check it out!) We had a LOT of fun with fractals and even used some fractal quiet time music from youtube one of the afternoons this week. Lily took these pics of patterns: All the petals are being touched by the sun They are all heart shaped All the venations are going on a diagonal curve along the "wing" They are all poking and the caterpillar itself is part of the pattern process of becoming a moth or butterfly You can see that the veins are all facing out and they all have three lobes Lily also noticed the connection between finding patterns and the reading of Math and Magic in Camelot this week and the pattern of poems. Piper created some poems using random patterns and they turned out cool!  Havala made sugar cookies, featured here and in my prezi: They were yummy! This is the puzzle that ...

Khyrum: for my inspirements I did some more riddles on TED (and had lots of fun!) and I took these pics

We love this video series!!  It is so fun to watch "Vihart" explain Fibonacci numbers and patterns in nature.  Thought it was quite relevant to this weeks theme.  Enjoy!

This week we will seek to Open minds Make connections Be inspired through the lens of math and science and have some EUREKA !! moments. So this week, we will use the lens of logic and deduction to find truth about education and make connections before doing our own fun! OPEN MINDS: To start off, let's have fun with looking at truth, which is the pursuit of any education: Now let's look at this scientist's own pursuit of truth! ( He's from NASA!!!) Now let's take this discussion of truth home!   Gather your fellow family students and each of you find at least one scripture that has to do with truth and share it with each other. PUZZLES AND PATTERNS : (Crust skills) One of the great parts of math and science is looking for truth through solving puzzles and finding patterns.  Let's get our minds open by doing all three of the following: #1- do a puzzle this week and try to make connections between doing the puzzle and figuring out...
