Fibonacci Number Teacher Resources

In this patterns worksheet, 11th graders identify and solve 3 different problems that include completing Fibonacci number patterns. First, they continue the pattern shown at the top to find more Fibonacci numbers. Then, students...

Learners examine the relationship between number sequence and poetry.  In this number algorithm lesson, students discuss Fibonacci's invention of a poetic number sequence.  Learners research the history of Fibonacci's invention, and its...

In this Fibonacci number sequence learning exercise, learners problem solve the answers to six word problems involving the process of his number sequence.

Take your class on a field trip to Fractalland where they'll learn all about number and shape patterns. Based on Disney's movie Alice in Wonderland, this resource takes young mathematicians on an adventure as they explore patterns in...

Excite the class with a mathematical trick, a calculator, and a good number sense. They use the directions provided on each slide to make a list of numbers, use their calculator to divide, and find the golden mean. A little history on...

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...

In this golden rectangles learning exercise, 10th graders solve and complete 6 different problems that include measuring the length and width of rectangles. First, they use the chart given to calculate the rectangles that are golden...

How can you see a number in nature? Here, learners discover both Fibonacci numbers and the golden ratio by exploring a number of different resources.  Note: Some of the resources are older and may be missing some of the links, but the...

Explore the building blocks of the Fibonacci Sequence. Given the lengths of sides of squares, pupils deduce the pattern to determine the lengths of two more squares. Learners continue to work with recursive formulas to generate numerical...

Tenth graders investigate the Golden Ratio.  In this geometry lesson plan, 10th graders explore the Fibonacci sequence in the context of The Fibonacci Rabbit problem.  Students examine how the ratio of two consecutive Fibonacci number...

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

In this math activity, students complete a 25 square math puzzle in which students examine the provided numbers and figure out the pattern. Students complete the puzzle according to the pattern, which in this case is the Fibonacci sequence.

In this math instructional activity, students complete a 25 square puzzle. Students analyze the 5 given numbers, figure out the pattern (here a Fibonacci sequence) and fill in the blanks.

Study Fibonacci sequences and see a related set of numbers. Learn and review Lucas numbers and use of quadratic equations to find a general term of a sequence of numbers that is generated by a recurrence relation similar to Fibonacci's.

Fifth graders have the opportunity to gather information themselves on Fibonacci and on the occurrence of Fibonacci numbers in nature. They divide up into groups of 2 to 4 to research.

Students investigate the mathematical patterns of the Fibonacci Sequence. They determine how math is connected to music, specifically looking at music the uses the pattern sequence found in the Fibonacci Sequence.

Students investigate the painting style of Van Gogh by creating a bulletin board with sunflowers on it. This is a creative project that is to be done at the end of a unit of study for plants. Specifically, this is done because of the...

Students use input / output tables to help them solve algebraic equations. They use patterns and relations to represent and analyze mathematical situations using algebraic symbols.
