  1. That video is pretty cool. It’s entertaining and enthralling at the same time. I think that it’s called Isomorphisms in five because there are 5 different colors beign used.

  2. I really like how the shapes change the music. It’s really interesting. I learned about the different growing shape patterns by comparing them.

  3. I thought that it was so cool that they made this shape(s) by using 3 different kinds of tools. I never knew that you can use those to create beautiful math art.

  4. I like how the pattern grows with the music. But I don’t quite understand what an isomorphism is… if anybody can explain it in a simplified way that would be great!

    • Hi Dawnae! That’s a great question. An isomophism is two or more things that work in the same way, but might look different at first glance. The patterns in the video are isomorphic because they grow in the same way, but look completely different. It’s a lot like saying two things are “equal,” except it applies more to the rules behind them. Does that help?

  5. The pattern really is great and I didn’t even know five four time signature existed. Can a music educator please confirm this time signature’s existence?
