Fibonacci Numbers in Plants

In grade 11 we watched these videos and then explored the Fibonacci sequence. We drew spirals, and then explored how Fibonacci numbers are found in unusual places. It’s even hiding in Pascal’s/Kayaam’s/Yang Hui’s triangle.

Next we explored some other benefits of this triangle, and how it can help us with binomial expansion.

They don’t know it yet, but this is a foundational skill for math next year!
