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...

Students explore math in nature. In this lesson 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 lesson, 8th graders measure the length and width of various objects to see which items have a divine proportion. Students...

Students study the origin of the Fibonacci Sequence.  In this investigative lesson students identify works of art where Golden Spiral or Ratio appear. 

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...

Students follow detailed directions to use the GeoGebra program. For this mathematics lesson, students find the nth term of a sequence, and use line art to approximate a Bezier's curve. Students locate points and segments on a circle....

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 lesson, students analyze the Fibonacci Sequence and relate it to solving exponential equations. There are alot of links and...

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

Students use the human body as a foundation for gaining practice in measuring angles and calculating ratios and proportions.
