Math Curiosity: A Pattern Packed Triangle

Objective

Students will search for patterns, patterns, and more patterns within the fascinating Pascal's Triangle.

Steps

1. Students will look for one pattern in this triangle and then use that pattern to add another row.
2. After I build out the triangle a bit more, students will search for even more patterns.
3. I show one set of interesting patterns, reveal the triangle's name, and then point students towards more resources.
