Hello everyone,
I just wanted to share a special discovery by Hugo from our Year Two Neighbourhood today.
In one of our targeted maths sessions, one activity offered to the children was to investigate the Fibonacci Sequence.
The first part of the sequence goes like this:
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34....
Some of the children got really involved in finding the subsequent numbers in the sequence. Can you see the pattern?
One of our lovely students, Hugo, is away sick today but emailed us especially to let us know that today at 11.23am it was 'Fibonacci Day'... as it was 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13!
I love this somewhat abstract yet logical application of a mathematical concept to a new context!
We will continue to investigate interesting concepts like number sequences and hopefully you will be challenged by some of the mathematics that the children come up with!
Great work Hugo!
