Fibonacci Numbers and Bricklaying: Counting Geometrically
Seaberg presents a children's activity that provides a new Fibonacci connection to geometric shapes and also involves playing with Lego® blocks. As students investigate the ways to arrange bricks, the Fibonacci pattern emerges. After recognizing the numerical pattern, students are encouraged to...

| description | Seaberg presents a children's activity that provides a new Fibonacci connection to geometric shapes and also involves playing with Lego® blocks. As students investigate the ways to arrange bricks, the Fibonacci pattern emerges. After recognizing the numerical pattern, students are encouraged to figure out why this pattern occurs in this particular geometric setting. |
