Answer:

In geometry, the toothpick sequence is a sequence of 2-dimensional patterns which can be formed by repeatedly adding line segments ("toothpicks") to the previous pattern in the sequence.

In mathematics, a tiling (of the plane) is a collection of subsets of the plane, i.e. tiles, which cover the plane without gaps or overlaps

" Math tiles are a hands-on activity that takes students' thinking beyond procedures and rote memorization. This engaging resource activates critical thinking and problem-solving skills, all while developing algebraic thinking."
