In this learning about Fibonacci worksheet, students read about Leonardo Fibonacci and his contribution to mathematics, then study the pattern of Fibonacci numbers, in math and in nature.

Fibonacci numbers are not only found in the classroom but also in nature. Explore the concept of Fibonacci numbers through a series of lessons designed to gain insight into the mathematical reasoning behind the number pattern, and spark...

Students calculate the Fibonacci sequence of numbers. Through the use of Fibonacci numbers in flowers, leaves, fruits, vegetables, pine cones, and other forms of nature; students explore how Fibonacci numbers occur in nature. Then they...

In this math patterns worksheet, learners review the beginning numbers in Fibonacci's numbers, find the pattern, follow directions and problem solve to find the Golden Number and complete a chart, measure lengths of body parts and find...

Learners explore math in nature. In this lesson plan on the Fibonacci sequence, students use natural objects and Fibonacci numbers to discover mathematical patterns.

Eighth graders explore the concept of the divine proportion/golden ratio. In this Fibonacci Sequence exploratory activity, 8th graders measure the length and width of various objects to see which items have a divine proportion. Students...

There are fundamental principles that nearly everybody knows about. Define the principles of Golden Mean, Fibonacci Numbers, creativity, and matter in terms of their Greek origins. Presented here are brief histories, philosophies, and...

Students integrate the patterns of Fibonacci into music. In this geometry instructional activity, students apply the concepts of recursion, pattern and Phi or Golden Ratio to composing and playing music on various instruments. They...

For this patterns in nature worksheet, students read about the Fibonacci Spiral, then follow the directions to plot one on the graph paper and draw the spiral, with links to more information.

Ninth graders examine sequential number patterns and the Fibonacci sequence. Given number patterns, they determine the next number in a sequence. Students develop their own number patterns and exchange them with another to be solved.

Students investigate geometry and algebra and the history behind these two interesting subjects. In this algebra instructional activity, students analyze the Fibonacci Sequence and relate it to solving exponential equations. There are...

Learners explore the concept of the golden ratio. In this golden ratio instructional activity, students measure objects to determine if their measurements fit the golden ratio. Learners calculate the average measurements of the class.

Using the LEGO NXT robotics kit, students construct and program robots to illustrate and explore the Fibonacci sequence. Within teams, students are assigned roles: group leader, chassis builder, arm builder, chief programmer, and...

Students discover the mathematical constant phi, the golden ratio, through hands-on activities. They measure dimensions of "natural objects"--a star, a nautilus shell and human hand bones--and calculate ratios of the measured values,...
