Young geometers and biologists investigate the math of nature in an activity that is just the bee's knees. Participants will study the tessellations of hexagons in a beehive, along with the natural rationale behind the specific shape....

This resource provides extensive information on the Fibonacci number sequence. It has numerous formulas and examples.

Here is an exercise to do using a pineapple to explore Fibonacci numbers. Then find the ratios of larger to smaller of each consecutive pair of Fibonacci numbers and graph them to find out the sequence.

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...

In Spanish. This unit is about Fibonacci numbers, some of its most interesting properties and their occurrence both in nature and art.

This site from the Math Forum explains the explicit formula for fibonacci numbers.

See if you can find the patterns on the staircase. Mr. Fibonacci would be so proud to know you found the solution. You can check your solution right at this nifty one-page website.

Look at an interesting application of ratios that demonstrates the amazing patterns that emerge when we examine mathematics. The Fibonacci numbers are found in art, music, and nature.

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson introduces students to the set of Fibonacci numbers and shows how this set is present in many aspects of nature. Through the lesson, students explore the first 13 elements in the...

Students investigate Fibonacci numbers and the ratios of successive Fibonacci numbers.

A clear explanation, with drawings and examples, of the golden ratio. The examples demonstrate the beauty of mathematics, such as how two Fibonacci numbers can approximate the golden ratio, and why the golden ratio can be called the...

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,...

This interactive activity gives you an opportunity to explore a specific number pattern named the "Fibonacci sequence." See what other patterns you can discover while you manipulate the blocks. There is a "Printable Page" link if you...

It is hard to imagine a way to mathematically describe a spiral. Spirals are commonly seen in nature. There are a number of different types of spirals. Some interesting examples include the spiral arrangements of scales in pine cones,...

Students learn how to graph the first n terms of a sequence, how to set the window and how to evaluate the nth term of a sequence. They also explore the Fibonacci sequence and Web plots.

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson has students explore the notion of Pythagorean triples, the "traditional" method for finding Pythagorean triples, and a method to find triples which utilizes the Fibonacci...

Have you heard of the 13th century mathematician, Leondardo Fibonacci? See examples of his concept of a lattice multiplication algorithm. Several example problems, including an interactive one where students can change the factors, are...

In Spanish. This unit introduces the concept of succession focusing on the study of arithmetic, geometric and Fibonacci.

A detailed explanation of Pascal's trianlge, with lots of examples and patterns described.

In Spanish. Find out about patterns and number sequences and read about some of Fibonacci tricks.

Math World explains the Golden Ratio, gives the formula for finding the irrational number, and expresses this value as an infinite series. Also defines and represents the Ratio geometrically, its relationship to the Fibonacci numbers,...

Gives a short introduction to Roman numerals. Explains how to add, subtract, and multiply Roman numerals.

The author of this site endeavours to explain how linear algebra has many applications in a wide range of disciplines, to help students see its uses in the real world.

This site is all about inverse tangents. The site includes a definition, color graphs, formulas, and many links to related terms.
