Abstract
This paper describes a series of artworks representing positive integers from 1 to 200 using geometric patterns of simple visual motifs. This is part of an ongoing series of artworks that use geometric patterns to give visual representations of the positive integers. The patterns used were chosen to visually highlight some properties of each number. The designs use a variety of motifs and arrangements to provide a diverse yet cohesive collection. One application of these patterns is as a teaching tool for helping students recognize and generalize patterns and sequences.
