Semajah's Pascal Project

At GCE we study real world changes and can they connect with us which so we have a workshop called In Prove It Or Lose It and what we do is learn about geometry and ways to change math or keep it the same. We learned about triangles and how many triangles you can count in one and how you divide it into groups and how the numbers relate or have a line of symmetric in the triangle.

 Also, the process of when a number added to another makes a new one and which that number would be on the triangle and the pattern would kept going.

The mathematical combination for the pascal triangle is you start with 1 on the side of each angle and to finish the pattern you add 1 to 1 and get 2 and keep adding on the side. Which when you reach the middle you start to add the numbers next to each other and keep going, the pattern that you see is its like a reflection.

 Example, if you fold the paper in half the numbers are going to be the exact same.

To show you my triangle I did the exact same but I did 2 patterns, so for the first one is just going by 1 on the each side and to fill it in you keep adding like 1+1=2+1=3+1=4 and continue the process.

 It's also in my different colors which green is the primary numbers and yellow is the connection between green. The numbers will always be the same but it's all in how you style it up to show which is which.

SW. Pascal Triangle. (2018)

Blaise Pascal was a French mathematician, physicist, inventor, writer and Catholic theologian. He was a child prodigy who was educated by his father, a tax collector in Rouen. He also was the founder of making the Pascal Triangle.

   

Blaise Pascal stole the idea from Chinese culture and the man named Yang Hui, he really didn't steal it but he took the idea and made it as his own.

Yang Hui, courtesy name Qianguang (謙光), was a late-Song dynasty Chinese mathematician from Qiantang. Yang worked on magic squares, magic circles and the binomial theorem, and is best known for his contribution of presenting Yang Hui's Triangle. This triangle was the same as Pascal's Triangle, discovered by Yang's predecessor Jia Xian. Yang was also a contemporary to the other famous mathematician Qin Jiushao.

In conclusion to what I've learned that the Pascal triangle can be divided and organized was interesting. I was surprised to know how that works. Also, on who really founded the triangle and who created it.
