Combine counting sequences with physical activity to engage students and increase overall fitness. This lesson plan describes a fifteen to twenty minute series of activities that can be easily tweaked to work in any elementary classroom.

This lesson focuses on Fibonacci numbers, a pattern based on the sum of the two previous numbers. It offers examples and practice exercises using some form of Fibonacci numbers.

Practice finding the nth number in a sequence of consecutive numbers based on the sum. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson introduces students to the notion of randomness and shows that some sequences are in fact just pseudo-random. Students then use a formula to create a series of pseudo-random...

Students will review the Fibonacci sequence and compose poems with the number of syllables in each line corresponding to the the numbers of that sequence.This lesson plan was created as a result of the Girls Engaged in Math and Science...
