The triangle above was named for the famous French mathematician Blaise Pascal, who wrote about its many patterns in 1653.  It is known as Pascal's Triangle.  I use this pattern when multiplying binomials in algebra.
Help me find the next two rows of Pascal's Triangle and tell me what patterns you can find.
