Fibonacci: The man who discovered God's fingerprint

Blockhead: The Life of Fibonacci

There is so much to learn about when you start talking about what Fibonacci discovered. We have started with the book, "Blockhead - the life of Fibonacci". For an introduction, watch the book trailer below.





For a mind blowing view of God's design in nature, watch the following short film.


We made a maths game based on a spiral.


We made a grid, then, beginning in the centre, wrote numbers from 1 - 100 in a spiral pattern.

Then, using two dice & some markers, each player took turns to throw a number and race each other to the end.

  1. Came via Suzie's Home ed site. Interesting post on Fibonacci. Loved the boys' library bags. My boys really liked using a sewing machine, probably just because it was a machine but they managed to make a few useful things.
