We found that the internet had a wider variety of sources which included diagrams, text and worked examples. Whereas we found that the information in text books was harder to access and took a lot of time working through to find it. We found that this image, sourced from the internet, helped us greatly in recognising patterns in Pascal’s Triangle. http://mathforum.org/workshops/usi/pascal/images/pascal.petal.gif This site helped us in understanding how Pascal’s Triangle is constructed. http://ptri1.tripod.com/ One of the text books we used was Maths Alive for Year 9, Second Edition, by Driver, Ganderton and McLeod. We found only one page that mentioned Pascal’s name however, the topic was Pascal’s Theorem, but we disregarded it as we did not believe it would be relevant information. We also used Mathematics for Australian Schools, Year 10, Second Edition, by Graeme Ganderton and Jack McLeod. This only included a brief history on Blaise Pascal and how he came to be a mathematician.
