About this topic

Number and structure explores exactness, approximation, irrationality and the hidden behaviour of simple rules.

These explorations are particularly good for moving from calculation into mathematical curiosity.

Explore this through fibonacci ratios and limiting behaviour, irrational directions and lattice points, structure created by repeated rotations.
