DESCRIPTION Here is a great (and easy!) activity to give kids a visual understanding of the geometry behind the Fibonacci sequence! Kids will understand that the Golden Rectangle (the rectangle we are drawing the spiral within) is actually composed of squares. Kids will see that the squares are not just randomly numbered, but that the (1 unit square) + (1 unit square) = (2 unit square)’s side length. The pattern continues as the (2 unit square) + (1 unit square) = (3 unit square)’s side length,

DESCRIPTION Here is a great set of activities to do for Pi Day or as an introduction to Circles in Geometry! The first activity is a colorful visual to show how pi is equal to the circumference of a circle, divided by its diameter. The second activity gives a hands-on foldable to easily see that a little more than 3 diameters in length is equal to the circumference of the same circle! DIRECTIONS 1.Colorful Circle Activity: Use two different colored dot markers or any markers to color the circle’
