Maths through PatternIntroductionCulture enriches lives. Participation in cultural activities can have a significant impact on young people’s development. This been shown repeatedly in International studies, and has also been backed up by recent evaluations of major programmes such as Creative Partnerships and Museums’ Strategic Commissioning. What these evaluations have shown is that culture can help young people achieve all of the Every Child Matters outcomes. (Find Your Talent http://www.findyourtalent.org/)
Turner Contemporary, Stour Valley Arts and Canterbury City Council Museums and Galleries Service are delighted to launch Maths Through Pattern, a resource that explores how to use pattern in contemporary and historical art, museum specimens and the natural environment to teach maths.
We believe that teachers and other educationalists should feel confident about making use of our collections, exhibitions and environments and that the ideas included in this resource can help to ignite children’s enthusiasm for learning, using their local area.
Whilst Superabundant: A Celebration of Pattern at Turner Contemporary was a temporary exhibition running from 24 January to 22 March 2009) we hope we have made a resource with a long life span. We have included a broad range of artists’ work, including commissions by Stour Valley Arts, resources found in museums and the natural and built environment in addition to extensive weblinks, in the hope of encouraging a creative way of looking and thinking which can be used beyond the constraints of a specific project. Should you wish, however, to visit and see something specific mentioned in this resource, please phone the venue beforehand to make arrangements.
Turner Contemporary, Stour Valley Arts and Canterbury City Council Museums and Galleries Service all believe in placing artists at the heart of what we do, and are continuously surprised and delighted by the way artists see the world. We are grateful to artist Katy Beinart for the creation of this inspiring and imaginative resource.
We are also grateful to enquire for providing the funding that has enabled us to develop both this resource and our collaboration. The enquire programme is funded by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and the Department for Children, Schools and Families as part of the Strategic Commissioning Programme for Museum and Gallery Education, and by the Foyle Foundation. The enquire programme is managed by engage and has been developed in association with Arts Council England.

Anglo-Saxon sundialPocket sundial dating from 950AD, found in Canterbury Cathedral (electrotype copy in museum collection). Indicated times of Cathedral services and believed to have belonged to a monk. To use it you would face the sun and the gnomen (sundial upright) would cast a shadow down the front of the dial.
Eighteenth century sundialWooden pillar sundial with initial letter of months around the base; the attached metal gnomen can be rotated to point to each month; interval lines marking each hour curve around the pillar. Probably a shepherd’s sundial for use when far from a church clock.

lCreate a games board by hand. Make a board from squares and create circular counters, each one should be hand made and different. You could use, paint, collage, crayons or pens.
Equipment: Card, scissors, paint, magazines, glue, pens, crayons.
Mass-Produced lLook at the work of Jacob Dahlgren. He uses a computer to design his
installations, uses mass produced objects to make his sculptures (food cans, weighing scales) and observes repetition of mass-produced objects in everyday life (stripy jumpers).
lLook at the seal and mould. Seals were mass-produced by pressing wax into moulds. The Medieval lead Pilgrim badges were made the same way, hammering soft lead into moulds.
lCreate your own sculpture using mass produced objects. lCreate a games board on the computer. Create counters on the computer.
Print and cut them out.Equipment: Paper, scissors.
Game, set and match! lMix up the two games, so you pitch the mass produced counters against the
hand-made. Who wins?

Medieval seal and two-part mouldDouble-sided seals were made by pouring wax into a two-part mould or ‘matrix’. This Medieval matrix has a general view of Canterbury on one side and originally had a scene of Thomas Becket’s murder on the other. But during the Reformation Thomas Cromwell, Henry VIII’s chief minister, ordered images of Becket to be destroyed and the local bell-founder was paid by the city of Canterbury to make a replacement matrix bearing the city’s coat of arms.
Norman bone gaming countersNorman (12th century) bone gaming counters from Canterbury, incised with repeating circular patterns. The counters, made from a cow’s jaw bone, were used for a game called tabula, which is similar to modern backgammon.
Medieval Pilgrim badgesPilgrims to holy shrines like Canterbury collected badges to show they had been on pilgrimage to those shrines. Canterbury Pilgrim badge images included heads and hands of Thomas Becket. Badges for Compostella in Spain were usually cockle shells, the symbol of St James of Compostella (‘coquilles St Jacques’).

Learning Objectives
Activities
lUse two pieces of stiff card, glass or plastic. Put a blob of paint on one piece and press the other one on top of it. Pull off the top piece quickly, and you should get a pattern which looks a bit like a river delta (see illustration). You can try making a print from this by placing a piece of paper gently on top and pulling it off slowly.
Equipment: Card, glass or plastic sheets, paint, paper

lDiscuss how fractal geometry makes this pattern by repeating the same shape joined onto the previous one, but at a different scale. Notice how the pattern unit does not lose its detail at a smaller scale.
lLook at other examples in nature: e.g. clouds, rivers, edges of land, the river-like pattern that manganese has made in the flint sample. How are they different from the regular solids that we draw in our maths classes?
lExplore making a Sierpinski triangle. Draw a large equilateral triangle. Measure the mid-point of each line and use these points to construct another triangle upside down inside it. Continue this process until you run out of space. How is this similar to the pattern in the fern? How is it different?
Equipment: Magnifying glass, paper, pencil, ruler, protractor.
KS2Chaos theory * lArtist Jim Drain uses pattern randomly, imitating ideas of chaos theory. lUse ICT to find out more about chaos theory and Mandelbrot sets. See if you
can create your out Mandelbrot design pattern.

Carboniferous ferns and plantsKent was once covered by luscious tropical forests. The trees and plants fell and were compressed over millions of years by other layers of rock formed above, forming coal. Fossils of some tree bark and plants can be found in the coal. These examples come from the East Kent coalfield that spanned the Canterbury and Dover districts.
Dendritic flintManganese oxide has made this pattern in the rock as it was forming. This sample came from Chartham Quarry, near Canterbury.

Petal Patterns lLook at Daniel Sturgis's painting, Clean Life. Daniel uses hand-cut templates
of a petal to create his paintings. Design a leaf or petal template, and then use it to create a pattern which looks like a plant viewed from above, or a flower’s face.
Equipment: card, glue, scissors, paint
KS2Snail Shell Spirals lUse the template of the Fibonacci number sequence to draw a spiral. You
could try sticking it on to a bigger sheet of paper, and continuing the sequence, and making your spiral bigger.
l*Use the Fibonacci sequence to construct a template yourself, and then draw a spiral. The sequence is made by adding each number to the previous number, i.e., 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21. These form squares which are added onto the previous square's side.
l*Use this activity to discuss the ideas of the Fibonacci series in nature, and the golden ratio (1·618034 )
l*Look at an image of a cross-section of a Nautilus sea shell. Draw a line from the centre out in any direction and find two places where the shell crosses it so that the shell spiral has gone round just once between them. The outer crossing point will be about 1.6 times as far from the centre as the next inner point on the line where the shell crosses it. This shows that the shell has grown by a factor of the golden ratio in one turn. You could lead this activity onto looking at examples of the Golden Section in Architecture and Art – see links at end of sheet.

KS1: Ma3 Shape, Space and Measures3a: Observe, visualise and describe positions, directions and movements using common words3b: Recognise movements in a straight line (translations) and rotations, and combine them in simple ways [for example, give instructions to get to the head teacher’s office or for rotating a programmable toy]
KS2: Ma3 Shape, Space and Measures3a: Visualise and describe movements using appropriate language3b: Transform objects in practical situations; transform images using ICT; visualise and predict the position of a shape following a rotation, reflection or translation
lTo create simple repeating patterns lTo identify pattern networks
F / KS1Printing patterns
lLook at the patterns on the pottery and wooden paddle in the museum collection. How many times is the pattern repeated?
lLook at the Medieval seal and its two-part mould. Lots of seals could be made using the mould. The pattern on the Roman tile was made with a roller on damp clay.
lMake a printing roller. You could either use a foam sheet stuck onto a toilet roll or a cotton reel covered in clay or play dough. Stick a pencil or a bamboo skewer through the centre (you will have to make ends for the toilet roll). Alternatively a paint roller could be used.

Medieval seal and two-part mouldDouble-sided seals were made by pouring wax into a two-part mould or ‘matrix’. This Medieval matrix has a general view of Canterbury on one side and originally had a scene of Thomas Becket’s murder on the other. But during the Reformation Thomas Cromwell, Henry VIII’s chief minister, ordered images of Becket to be destroyed and the local bell-founder was paid by the city of Canterbury to make a replacement matrix bearing the city’s coat of arms.
Roman tile impressed with roller patternFragment of a ‘voussoir’ or roof tile from a Roman bath-house in Kent (Plaxtol, near Sevenoaks), impressed with a pattern that is actually an inscription saying ‘I, Cabriabanus made this wall tile (Parietalem Cabriabanu Fabricavi) – you can see ‘CABR’ in the bottom right corner. Grooved rollers were run over damp clay tiles, creating a rough surface to which wall plaster would stick. In this case the maker carved an inscription into his wooden roller instead of the usual grooves.
Roman imprinted relief potteryRed clay pottery known as Samian ware was often decorated with reliefs by pressing the clay against a mould that could be repeated all round
Imprinted and relief potteryThe jugs include patterns made by incised or imprinted lines, relief additions made in moulds (some made separately then attached to the jug body), and painted lines.

F / KS1 / KS2Mosaic Making lHave a look at the Roman mosaics that were found in Canterbury. In Latin,
tessella was a small cubical piece of clay, stone or glass, used to make mosaics. A tiny cube was a tessella; from this we have the word tessellation. What do you notice about the mosaics? Can you see any spaces between the tiles?
l*Discuss the meaning of tessellation. lTry making a mosaic from small pieces of coloured paper cut into squares. Equipment: Coloured paper, glue, scissors. lWhole class activity: design and make a mosaic for the school grounds.Equipment: mosaic tiles, cement, wood (for frame).

Scale Models lExplore how artists use scale to design large-scale pieces of artwork. Look at
the drawings by London Fieldworks and Lukasz Skapski; how do you know what size the finished artwork will be? Look at B52 by Rosie Leventon and discuss how she would have planned it out. Look at Peter Fillingham’s artwork- how do you think he designed it?
lMake a scale model of your classroom or your bedroom. First measure the walls and floor of the room. Then draw out a plan and elevations of the walls onto paper, at a scale of 1:100 (so 100 cm in real life = 1 cm on the drawing). Then using the drawings, transfer the individual parts of your plan (walls, floor etc) onto card. Cut out the pieces and assemble the model. You could add furniture, windows, etc. You could also try this with other objects (See Claus Oldenburg).

FMaking Shapes: lUse Lego or stickle bricks to make shapes. What shapes can you make? Join
the shapes together to make new shapes. What new shapes can you make? Can you stack the shapes (like Roman under-floor heating stacks)?
lLook at soap bubbles. What shapes can you see? How do they join together?Equipment: Lego, soap, water
KS1 Making Shapes: lUse packaging material (e.g. egg cartons, fruit trays) to construct a shape.
What shapes can you find in the packaging? What new shapes can you make with it?
l* Imagine the shape you have made is a building. Draw the outside and the inside of the building. Do this on the computer, or using a pencil and paper.
Equipment: packaging materials, glue, sticky tape, paper, pencils

Making Shapes: lConstruct a 3-D Hexagonal cell from the template (this can be photocopied
onto card or paper). Now construct several more of the same shape. How easily do the shapes fit together? Try gluing the shapes together in different combinations to make a new shape. You could look at a Tortoiseshell or Sea Urchin.
lConstruct an Octahedron from the template. Make several more and explore sticking them together to make new shapes. Explore where the lines of symmetry are in the new shape.
lImagine the shape you have made is a building. Draw the outside and the inside of the building. Do this on the computer, or using a pencil and paper.
l*Use ICT to generate another pattern for a 3-D shape. Print this out and construct it as you did with the previous one.
lCompare the pattern of the Wasps nest (regular hexagons) with Pumice stone (similar but more random shapes made by air bubbles).
l*Try using cylinders to make a wall, like Chris Drury's Coppice Cloud Chamber. How easily do they stack together? What kind of spaces are left between the cylinders? Look at buildings in your neighbourhood. Can you see how they are constructed? Why do you think some shapes are better for building with than others? You could also look at tree rings and tree structures. How are trees constructed? Can you use cylinders to construct a ‘tree’ shape?

Wasps’ NestsImages of Wasps’ nest interior (hexagons) and exteriors. Wasps build layers of hollow hexagons in which to hatch new wasps. The solid hexagons are filled with wasp grubs and food for them. The exterior is made of small semicircular layers of paper or other material chewed and regurgitated by the wasps.The small round nest (B) was attached to a curtain and only had a few wasps. The large nest (A) was built by a swarm of wasps in the roof of a Canterbury house.
Birds’ NestsReed Warbler’s nest (British), constructed on reeds.Weaver Bird’s nest (African), woven; the bird enters via the long tube at the base.Leafy nest of a Goldfinch or Linnet (British), made of leaves, grass, twigs, ivy, moss.
Roman under-floor heatingStacks of clay tiles on top of which the floor of the house was built, allowing warm air from a fire at one side to circulate below the floor. Part of the flooring of a Roman town house preserved where it was found in Canterbury, around which the Roman Museum has been built.
Beaney façadeThe Beaney Institute, which houses the museum, gallery and library, was designed and built in the late 19th century, imitating Tudor styles. The front incorporates corner turret rooms and rounded front stairs.
TortoiseshellHome of a soft-bodied tortoise; made of interlocking pentagons, created as the tortoise and its shell grew.
Sea Urchin fossilShell home of a soft-bodied Sea Urchin, which lived when southern England was covered by tropical seas and has turned into chalk rock over millions of years to become a fossil, known as an Echinoid. Constructed of interlocking hexagons, each of which had a spine in the centre (where round bosses have remained when the spines broke away).
Pumice stoneStone made of volcanic lava that contained lots of air bubbles.

Canterbury waterworks plan12th century plan of waterworks improvements for Canterbury Cathedral carried out for Prior Wibert, who was in charge of the Cathedral and its monastery between 1155-1167. He arranged for a clean water supply by having water brought via lead pipes into the Cathedral from cisterns on the hill above Canterbury. The round Water Tower and some of this piping survive today. The magnificent original drawing is in Cambridge (reproduced courtesy of The Master and Fellows of Trinity College Cambridge) and there is a nineteenth century drawn copy in Canterbury Cathedral Archives.

Hidden Pictures lLook at Henna Nadeem's work. How many different pictures can you see in her
work? What do you see first, a pattern or a photograph? Cut pictures of everyday objects from magazines. Then use other pictures to disguise the original object by cutting out patterns and layering them over the first picture. Ask other people to see if they can work out what the original object was.
Equipment: magazines, scissors, glue
KS2 lChoose a photo, and, using ICT, create another design on top of it, which
disguises the first picture. lLook at Wim Delvoye's Marble Floor # 86. What is it made of? Trace a
pattern from a design for a carpet or wallpaper. Now use paint or collage to transform the original pattern. How is it different from your original pattern?
Equipment: tracing paper, pencil, paint or magazines/coloured paper, scissors, glue lLook at Richard Woods' Flat Stack Sculpture and the Beaney floor details.
Try using 3-D objects (e.g. junk modelling, packaging) to create a pattern. How does the pattern look when viewed from different angles? Draw the pattern from above and from the side. What do you notice about the different views?

Foundation Stage Early Learning Goals lKnowledge and Understanding of the World lFind out about past and present events in their own lives, and in those
of their families and other people they know.
KS1: Ma3 Shape, Space and Measures4a: Estimate the size of objects and order them by direct comparison using appropriate language; put familiar events in chronological order; compare and measure objects using uniform non-standard units [for example, a straw, wooden cubes], then with a standard unit of length (cm, m), weight (kg), capacity (l) [for example, ‘longer or shorter than a metre rule’, ‘three-and-a-bit litre jugs’]; compare the durations of events using a standard unit of time
KS2: Ma3 Shape, Space and Measures4d: Read the time from analogue and digital 12- and 24-hour clocks; use units of time - seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks - and know the relationship between them
lTo understand different ways of measuring time lTo explore cycles and rhythms of nature and natural systems lTo understand ideas of growth and decomposition over time
F / KS1 / KS2Decomposing lGuiliano Mauri's work was made with the intention of it going back into the
forest, gradually decomposing and retuning to where it had come from. Stephen Turner's tree rings document the natural cycles and decomposition on the forest floor over time.
lMake a sculpture that can decompose, from natural objects like fruit, vegetables or plants. Either draw it every day to record how it changes, or use digital photographs to document it and put them into an animation on the computer.
lHow long does the object take to decompose?Equipment: fruit/vegetables/plants, camera, paper, pencils

photographs? Can you tell what time of year it is? lHow do we record growth and change - look at the tree rings, agate rings,
Rattlesnake tail and Mammoth tusk. Are all the layers the same? lMake a flip book which shows something growing. You could choose a plant,
a flower, an animal, or a person. Using the template, make a slight addition to your drawing in each frame. Then cut them out and make holes where shown. Tie it together with string, and tape around the string to hold it securely in place. When you flick through you should be able to see a 'mini-movie' of your growing object.
lYou could also try doing this on the computer, or using an animation programme to show something growing.

lAspect is filmed in a forest over the period of a year. The forest year is condensed into a few minutes. Tree rings and layers in the Mammoth Tusk show how a tree or tusk has grown and shells reveal their own growth with gradually larger additions.
lThink about how much you have grown since you were born, and how you have changed.
lBring in family photos that show you at different ages and make a time line of your life. You could also make a family tree with photos or drawings of your mum, dad, sisters, brothers, grandparents.
lCan you imagine what you will look like at different ages? Draw a self-portrait of yourself at the age of 20, 30, 40…etc.
lMake an autobiography of your life so far, this could be written, drawn or made using collage.
lVisit activity: at the Roman Museum in Canterbury, each step down from street level takes you back 100 years. Can you imagine what life was like in Roman Canterbury? How has it changed? How is it similar?
Equipment: paper, pencils, magazines, photographs, glue, scissors
Emily Robertson Aspect 2004
Natural Rhythms – A day in the life... lSusan Derges spent a year observing the forest, Emily Robertson filmed over
a whole year and condensed it down to a few minutes, Rodney Glick filmed for a whole day and condensed it to an hour.
lMake a record of a whole day from your classroom window, or in your school grounds. Record any changes in the weather, people, and other things you see. This could be written, drawn or photographed.
lTake a series of photos or make a series of drawings of the same place every day for a month. Stick your drawings or photographs up on the wall, as you go. How does it change over time?
lTry making a water clock; instructions can be found at:http://www.nationalgeographic.com/ngkids/trythis/try10.html
lVisit Activity. Explore forest life cycles at Stour Valley Arts. How do the woodland management team keep the forest healthy?
Equipment: Paper, pencils, camera

AgateMade of very fine quartz that crystallises in air pockets within volcanic rock. Different minerals in the quartz crystallise at different rates, depositing layers of different colours, the outermost deposited first and innermost last.
Mammoth tuskIn cross-section a mammoth tusk looks like a tree, with rings of growth from the centre outwards. In longitudinal section you can see the pointed ends getting longer with each additional growth inside. Mammoths once lived in Kent: this tusk was found on the lower beach at Long Rock, Swalecliffe, near Whitstable.
ShellsShells are the homes for soft-bodied animals and grow as the animal gets larger. You can see the progression in size relating to growth. The Tellin shell has dark growth rings.

Foundation Stage Early Learning Goals lKnowledge and Understanding of the World lInvestigate objects and materials by using all of their senses as appropriate. lBuild and construct with a wide range of objects, selecting appropriate
resources and adapting their work where necessary. lObserve, find out about and identify features in the place they live and the
natural world. lCreative Development lRespond in a variety of ways to what they see, hear, smell, touch and feel.
Curriculum Links
Jem Finer, study for Score for a Hole in the Ground 2006
02
KS1: Ma3 Shape, Space and Measures1d: Use the correct language and vocabulary for shape, space and measures.1e: Recognise simple spatial patterns and relationships and make predictions about them.3a: Observe, visualise and describe positions, directions and movements using common words.
KS2: Ma3 Shape, Space and Measures1h: Use mathematical reasoning to explain features of shape and space. 3a: Visualise and describe movements using appropriate language. *4c: Recognise angles as greater or less than a right angle or half-turn, estimate their size and order them; measure and draw acute, obtuse and right angles to the nearest degree
lTo explore the properties of sound and water lTo understand the idea of waves (sound and water) lTo understand why waves make different patterns
FMake a sound machine lAsk children to build sound machine using natural/found materials eg.
dripping water, sticks striking, stones dropping onto different surfaces. What different sounds can you make? What do the sounds look like? Use different words to describe the sounds.
Equipment: water, sticks, stones, different surfaces
KS1 / KS2Seeing Sound Waves
Learning Objectives
Activities
lWhat does sound look like? These activities explore how sound makes patterns.
Kaleidophone lMake a Kaleidophone: use a knitting needle, with a silver bead fixed to one end.
Hold it fast at one end in a vice or between two tables. Set up a screen behind it, then shine a bright light onto the needle. If you hit the needle you should see wave patterns as the needle moves. What kind of shapes do you see?
Equipment: knitting needle, beads, screen

Chladni patterns lCut off half a large balloon, and stretch it over an open tin can. Hold it in
place with rubber bands. Sprinkle salt onto the balloon. lTry playing different sounds to the balloon and see what happens to the
salt. It should move into patterns. Try downloading the sound from Jem Finer's artwork and playing it. What pattern does it make?
lDraw the pattern you see. Experiment with different sounds to see what kind of patterns they make. What do you notice about louder or softer sounds, higher or lower notes?
Equipment: Balloon, can, rubber band, paper, pencils
Water and waves lLook at Richard Harris's sculpture. What does the shape remind you of?
Look at the Narwhal tusk - what does its shape have in common with water? lWater is also essential to Jem Finer's piece, as it makes the sound. Have a
look at the Elizabethan Canterbury and Canterbury water supply maps. What do you know about the properties of water?
lFill a plastic tray with water. What happens when you drop a small drop of water into it? What happens when you disturb one side with a stick? Explore the idea of waves and the way water behaves. Try drawing the different patterns you see in the water
l*Look at a picture of a river. Does it flow in a straight line? Some facts about rivers include:
lNo river, regardless of size, runs straight for more than 10 times its width. lThe radius of the bend is nearly always 2-3 times the width of the river at
that point. lThe wavelength (distance between points of bends) is 7-10 times the
average width. The technical name for the pattern a river makes is meander geometry. The
shape it makes is an irregular waveform. Discuss the difference between regular and irregular waves. Use maths to explore the geometry of a river pattern.
Equipment: Tray, water, paper, pencils

Bird’s eye view of Elizabethan CanterburyShows the city walls, River Stour, Cathedral and streets in Shakespeare’s time. The river was diverted to build mills powered by water and there were also.tanneries, parchment works and similar that used water for industrial production.
Canterbury waterworks plan12th century plan of waterworks improvements for Canterbury Cathedral carried out for Prior Wibert, who was in charge of the Cathedral and its monastery between 1155-1167. He arranged for a clean water supply by having water brought via lead pipes into the Cathedral from cisterns on the hill above Canterbury. The round Water Tower and some of this piping survive today. The magnificent original drawing is in Cambridge (reproduced courtesy of The Master and Fellows of Trinity College Cambridge) and there is a nineteenth century drawn copy in Canterbury Cathedral Archives.
