So.. 1 + 1 = 2; 1 + 2 = 3; 2 + 3 = 5; 3+ 5 = 8; 5 + 8 = 13; 8 + 13 = 21; 13 + 21 = 34 and so on and on\u2026<br \/>\nSo how is today Fibonacci Day? <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Today is 11\/23, the start of the Fibonacci Sequence<\/strong><\/span>.<br \/>\nWhat do we do with the Fibonacci Sequence? Many scientists have found examples of the series in nature, such as the arrangement of petals within a flower. Children could view a great TED talk about Fibonacci Numbers at: \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/arthur_benjamin_the_magic_of_fibonacci_numbers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fibonacci Numbers<\/a>. Kids also have fun just extending the pattern to very large numbers. So\u2026you still want more information? The sequence is named after Fibonacci (real name Leonardo Pisano Bigollo), a famous Italian mathematician who lived from around 1170 to 1250. He did not invent the series, but he did broadcast it via his books. He is also famous for spreading the Hindu-Arabic math system, the system we use, throughout Europe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fibonacci Day is today!
