1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8. 13, ...
We were pleased that many of our students can... we've been exploring Fibonacci numbers and how they keep cropping up in nature. Here are some videos to whet your interest...
We also explored counting spirals in pinecones and draw our own spirals using Fibonacci numbers, we're wondering where else they are around us. Here are some of our first thoughts:
Ziya - it made my mind super screwy. I know I can do maths with patterns and swirls.
Pyrenees - it makes me wonder how many more things have spirals. I wonder about trees and fingerprints and in Maori tattoos.
Sammy - it made me feel like dizzy and swirly. It makes me want to learn more about swirls.
Cameron - Eloise’s necklace is a swirl!
Coco - There are so many swirls in the world.
We also drew spirals using the Fibonacci code...
Salut à tous !
ReplyDeleteNous avons eu beaucoup de plaisir à participer à votre enquête sur "La beauté dans les Maths". Nous faisons 45 minutes de danse chaque semaine et vendredi dernier nous avons créé un lien entre la danse et les mathématiques. Vous pouvez voir et commenter notre diaporama sur notre blog de classe : http://cm1.galligani.eu/2018/09/14/beauty-in-maths/ .
Bravo pour vos excellentes idées qui rendent plus agréables nos apprentissages.
Nous sommes très fiers et très heureux d’être en contact avec vous, depuis l’autre côté du Monde.
