Shapes, Patterns, Order, Structure… Jeff Hawkins, in his book On Intelligence, writes, "Your brain receives patterns from the outside world, stores them as memories, and makes predictions by combining what it has seen before and what is happening now... Prediction is not just one of the things your brain does. It is the primary function of the neo-cortex, and the foundation of intelligence."

Extension Activities: Photograph and/or draw your own examples that support your
premise (Yes—geometry can be found in the natural world. No—geometry is not
found in the natural world.) Create a presentation supporting your theory.

“Building becomes architecture only when the mind of man consciously takes it and tries with all his resources to make it beautiful, to put concordance, sympathy with nature, and all that into it. Then you have architecture.” ― Frank Lloyd Wright
