Yesterday, 3rd grade gifted students learned about the Fibonacci Sequence. The Fibonacci sequence is a fun number pattern where you add the last two numbers to get the next one, starting with 0 and 1 (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13...). It shows up everywhere in nature, like in flower petals, pinecones, and even galaxies...making math feel magical AND real for students!
Students learned how to calculate the Fibonacci sequence. Then they used interlocking blocks to visually represent their understanding. And, finally, students created a piece of art called a Fibonacci Flower! And if you didn't know, the sequence can be started with ANY number! For our art project, we started with a circle with a diameter of 0.5 inches. The next circle was also 0.5 inches. Followed by circles with diameters of 1 inch, 1.5 inches, 2.5 inches, 4 inches, and ________. Can you guess the last number???
