The Fibonacci sequence, where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones, appears all around us in nature—from pinecones and sunflowers to seeds in berries and the branching of trees. This pattern of numbers is also used in technology, architecture, and even the stock market. In this class, you’ll use pattern recognition to engage your mathematical thinking and your art and design skills to create projects based on the golden ratio. Through hands-on activities, you’ll be challenged to apply the Fibonacci sequence to solve problems creatively, drawing on observation, visual-spatial thinking, and abstract reasoning.
