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...

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 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...

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.

Explains what the golden ratio is and its relationship to the Fibonacci sequence. Gives interesting examples of the golden ratio in plants, seashells, astronomy, weather, the human body, insects, DNA, and animals.

Looks at how spirals form in nature when cells reproduce in a flower, for example. An interactive lets students try entering different values to see if they can make a spiral pattern with no gaps. The correct figure would be the Golden...

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...

[Free Registration/Login Required] The teacher will use this lesson plan flipchart to review the Fibonacci sequence. The students will be able to complete Fibonacci's mathematical sequence following a study of the pattern.

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.

This photo shows the Fibonacci numbers 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34 and 55 lit up on the side of a tall smoke stack. The Fibonacci sequence of numbers is named after the Italian mathematician Leonardo of Pisa (better known as Fibonacci)....

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

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...

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...

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.

Patterns of numbers don't come along every day, and so when they do, they need to be bragged about! The basic definition of triangular numbers begins this site which also lists many of the properties of these numbers, highlights the...
