Fibonacci Dots

Do you know the Fibonacci sequence? 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21,... Do you see the pattern?

The Fibonacci sequence is generated when the two previous numbers are added together to make the next. Using this pattern, elementary art students explored the power of the circle by using Fibonacci numbers as the radius of their circles.

Students drew circles using a compass, cut them out into individual circles, and then arranged them in an aesthetically pleasing approach. Check out what happens when you combine art and math!
