My name is Alyssia, I really believe that this toadstool connects not only to nature but to maths. When you go outside you wouldn’t say oh look that’s a tree I wonder what maths it has — but when you really look into it and you will see how much maths is actually in nature. Maths is all in the world around us, in every day life. The photo I chose — the two toadstools — shows how that maths can relate to anything! This spherical shape of the dots, the structure of the toadstool. Maths is everywhere we just have to look a little deeper and what we will find will be amazing!
