In this lesson, toothpick patterns are used to explore growth patterns. Students are asked to extend patterns using toothpicks, drawing, and numbers. By observing patterns, students will strengthen their ability to represent real-world patterns to the abstract language of algebra.
Students engage in a competitive group relay to construct formal proofs involving triangles.
New proofs can always be written to fit different curriculum and pacing.

Students discover the Fibonacci sequence and how it relates to a multitude of things in their world. They will begin to see "non-mathematical" things as mathematical. This is collection of activities that can be easily be used as a unit or as pieces to fit what you already have in place when teaching the Fibonacci sequence. Rubric definitely needs some work :)
