Nature isn’t as random as you might think. Mathematicians have coded patterns in nature, and Fibonacci’s sequence is one of the most famous – and seen in art as well as the physical world. Explore the following sequence of activities to see the pattern.

Do you see patterns in numbers? You might see math in your future – as a
mathematician, sure, but also as a statistician, a scientist, an engineer, a
computer programmer, an architect, an artist, or a business person.
