Abstract
Our activity this time is an investigation which
begins with the Fibonacci sequence. Throughout this
activity, students are called upon to exercise the skills of
observation, pattern recognition, mathematical notation and
communication and visualization. Along with this, there is an
opportunity to apply their understanding by using an algorithm
to generate the spreadsheet version of the sequence – though this
last is an optional addition. Their prior knowledge of arithmetic,
algebra and geometry is exercised and students are also able to
appreciate the connection between these areas.
