My Experience with this product

There is a little bit of something for every level of learner throughout the activities. Some activities would be approachable for junior high students while others are geared more for high schoolers. I often like to bring these activities out if we have a free day or when I teach about sequences/series in my math classes. My personal favourite activity is the Fibonacci spiral because students really enjoy making them and creating their own designs. I always use the Fibonacci Spirals that they create in class to decorate a bulletin board in my room and it always looks fantastic. I have followed up this activity by bringing in a bunch of pine cones so students could try counting Fibonacci Spirals and it is always a lot of fun.
