Fabulous Fibonacci - Presentation

In this STEAM presentation, students learn about the Fibonacci sequence, when it was discovered, the pattern behind it, and how it has influenced mathematics and design for hundreds of years.
There is also an activity book designed to be used alongside the presentation to allow students to put some of what they have learned into action by creating a Fabulous Fibonacci artwork.

Learning goals

  • We are learning to read, write, name and order two-digit numbers to at least 120 using concrete materials, hundred charts and number lines.
  • We are learning to model problems involving addition and subtraction, including simple whole-dollar money problems, in practical role-play situations.
  • We are learning to solve problems involving modelling addition, subtraction, equal sharing and grouping, using different strategies.
  • We are learning to read, write, model and represent numbers to 100 in different ways and on number lines.
  • We are learning to follow and create number sentences to investigate number patterns and rules and to find emerging patterns.
  • We are learning to describe, continue and create number patterns and use addition and subtraction to identify the rule.
  • We are learning to find unknown quantities in number sentences involving addition and subtraction, using the properties of numbers and operations.
  • We are learning to find unknown quantities in number sentences involving addition and subtraction and identify equivalent number sentences involving addition and subtraction.
  • We are learning to create and use algorithms using multiple steps to experiment with factors, multiples and divisibility and identify and describe emerging patterns.
  • We are learning to describe, continue and create patterns with fractions, decimals and whole numbers resulting from addition and subtraction, using the number line or diagrams to create patterns involving fractions or decimals.
  • Experiment with visual conventions and techniques to create artworks.
