Fibonacci Flowers: Mathematics and Art

The Fibonacci Day: Fibonacci Flowers – Mathematics and Art teacher resource exists: to make mathematics meaningful, visually rich, and low-fuss for you. It's the perfect task to enhance a mathematics lesson, throw into an afternoon art activity or take with you on a casual relief teaching day. 

This classroom-ready activity is perfect for upper primary or lower secondary and uses the Fibonacci sequence to create flower-inspired artworks, linking mathematics and art in a way that sticks.

What’s a Fibonacci Flower?

The Fibonacci flowers are based on the famous Fibonacci number pattern: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13… that shows up in nature, from sunflowers and pinecones to seashells. Students apply this sequence into a hands on experience by layering circles and coloured paper.  

This engaging experience is perfect for not only the upper grades, but especially for students who demonstrate intellectual giftedness, as they often thrive in the face of abstract concepts.

Plus, the Fibonacci Flowers are such an ideal activity for Fibonacci Day (23/11), but flexible enough to slot into your curriculum any time of year.
